Image and Text, Text as Image, and Image as Text: A Poetry Masterclass with Diana Khoi Nguyen

What is an image, and what can text entail? As an exploratory and interactive group, we will pay close attention to the nuances of these two words before excavating how they have been employed and evolved on the page over time. We will expand our original notions of these two crucial media, and how they can engage with each other. What happens at the intersection of image and text in creative work?

Diana Khoi Nguyen is the author of Ghost Of (2018) which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and Root Fractures (2024). Her video work has recently been exhibited at the Miller Institute for Contemporary Art. Nguyen is a Kundiman fellow and member of the Vietnamese artist collective, She Who Has No Master(s). A recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and winner of the 92Y Discovery Poetry Contest and 2019 Kate Tufts Discovery Award, she currently teaches in the Randolph College Low-Residency MFA and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh.
