Excited for our February writing workshop: on laughter as lens for political and personal insight, on laughter as theory and craft. We'll write with excerpts from Nuar Alsadir, Feminist Killjoy, & others...
In this episode we chat to poet & psychoanalyst Nuar Alsadir (Nuar Alsadir) about the radical possibilities of laughter, writing & psychoanalysis, what it means to put unconcious & bodily experience into writing, living 'hotter' & much, much more 👇🎧

Sad to have finished (for now) with this clarifying joy from Nuar Alsadir. Comrades, maybe ‘the self’ is not just for liberals (and don’t be put off by the references to Le Bon)

“Sadness folds the chair it would have sat on.”
Really happy to hear Nuar Alsadir read from Nuar Alsadir
“It’s not your material that the audience connects to, but the emotion you feel in relation to that material.” In her new #CraftCapsule , Nuar Alsadir considers the link between the author’s emotional state while writing and the reader’s engagement: at.pw.org/Authentic
Though Nuar Alsadir set out to write a book about laughter, ANIMAL JOY is a far deeper study of how we express and understand our most powerful emotions. @graywolfpress bookpage.com/?p=165126
