Peter Cook, Flying Words Project
Throughout the month of March, the Wick Poetry Center will host a series of community workshops and discussions centered on the poetry of Peter Cook, an internationally renowned Deaf performing artist whose work incorporates American Sign Language, pantomime, storytelling, acting and movement. Cook’s poetry and efforts with the Flying Words Project explore the intersection of poetry and disability justice and expand ideas about what poetry is and who it belongs to. Participants anywhere will be able to contribute video or text to an interactive online community poem entitled “Open Window: Poetry and Disability Justice.” This monthlong creative conversation will culminate with an in-person performance and workshop by Peter Cook and the Flying Words Project on the Kent Campus on April 7 and 8, 2022.
