Oracular WritingOracular Writing is a creative practice rooted in principles of observation, receptivity, inquiry, and encounter. I developed this workshop at the University of Arizona Poetry Center in 2008, and taught several evolving variations until 2016. I now offer manuscript and project consultations, process restoration, and small group workshops online and in person at the Drawing Studio.
I'm writing all the time. With trained, contextual awareness we may come to understand the artistic practice as a relationship with the life forces in physical and non-ordinary reality. More than an act of singular agency, more than product, our work is elemental, and evidentiary of relational aesthetics. The artist/writer leaves evidence of her encounters. Oracular thought asks the practitioner to enlarge the field of “writer,” in order to better understand the role of artist as participant, witness, collaborator and partner. Different kinds of seeing yield different kinds of knowing. Through the practice of inquiry we learn radical presence, which yields intuitive access to creation and completion. Creativity: with respectful attunement we orient to the encounter. My writing has blood flow The writing process is considered in terms of relationship dynamics, and the text is considered evidence of these relations.
