The Jack Kerouac School's Summer Writing Program at Naropa University is a four-week-long convocation of students, poets, fiction writers, scholars, translators, performance artists, activists, Buddhist teachers, musicians, printers, editors and others working in small press publishing. Programming includes workshops, lectures, panels, readings, special events, and more.
Naropa University's SWP 2014 features the theme of "Anthropocene"—the world Age where everything is woefully affected and conditioned by Man. Anthropocene is being advocated as a designation to replace Holocene, our current geological epoch. Anthropocene marks the massive and destructive global impact human behavior has had on ecosystems, land-use, biodiversity. Here we wish to invoke its use as conscientious—"awake"—planet citizens, poets, writers, activists, to imagine a greater, more radical change in the frequency of our homo sapiens sapiens domination and intention, and press for a creative vision of halting further harm to all animate and inanimate worlds.

Laura Mullen is teaching the workshop "T(w)omb: Midwives in the Archives" during week two.
