In 1985 the author Elaine Scarry wrote a book that sought to examine the experience of pain by the individual, communities, and society at large, and the place of creativity in understanding it. Over 6 weeks we will read from Scarry's book and engage in and share creative responses as we seek to address these (and other) questions:
What is pain and what is sensation?
How are illness, war, suffering, and grief related to pain?
How do creativity and art heal us?
