Seminar: The Desperate Poetic Concept of the Killing Joke; or, How to Manage Anxiety When the Walls are Closing In...

Talks, discussions, and roundtable indulgences on the history and concept of the “Killing Joke.” Sprung from an in-progress poetic essay by Magus Magnus, this course functions as a multimedia creativity and catharsis workshop, with creative/therapeutic games, prompts, rituals, and cerebrations-celebrations - online party style. Let’s get through confinement, oppression, and contagion together with our free spirits intact and our inspirations unleashed. 4-session experience: April 9, 16, 23, and 30.

Magus Magnus is a poet, writer, and, in recent years, immigrant rights advocate active in the nation's capital. Books include Verb Sap, Idylls for a Bare Stage, Heraclitean Pride, and The Re-echoes, as well as an eBook available exclusively on Kindle, The Free Spirit. His works of poetry, theater, and creative philosophy incant a new dynamic for rising above the chaotic present. www.magusmagnus.com
