Subject: Re: Super Cosmos Galley Online Now for a day or two only
"Forced lobotomy" sounds like a threat of physical violence from you
to me according to my attorney. You are unstable. That is a very
inappropriate response to a single message about a book that is on
the cutting edge of literature and science.

Creative Integration: Science, Creative-Writing, Collaboration, and =20
Original Voice
Featured artists in four different genres of literature will discuss =20
science as element, structure, and inspiration. Questions we will =20
pose and address will include: What is the evolution of form in terms
=20=
of science-creative-writing? What common artistic vernacular does =20
science provide? What makes art and science true and applicable? When
=20=
is science science-fiction? The four panelists will jointly create =20
and support a blog in order to explore collaboration among different =20
artists with a scientific theme. The results of this blog-=20
collaboration will be included in our presentation.
KEYWORDS: science, science education, creative writing, =20

modeling instructor, and now screenwriter. Other screenplays: THE =20
ROBERY, a surrealistic drama about the possibility of recovering from
=20=
child abuse and A COUNTRY DOCTOR, a drama about the plight of women =20
to find their place as leaders of society. Dr. Brown has published =20
numerous scientific papers, has been an invited speaker, a =20

POETRY:
A poet, Annemarie has recently done a project on the brain. She has =20
written twelve poems on neuroscience based on discussions with =20
neuroscientists. She performed these brain poems in Dutch in the =20
Antwerp Lab for Theoretical Neurobiology on 15th March, and will read
=20=
their English translations on 15th June for the SLSA conference in =20
Amsterdam, wherein she is organising the whole sci/technopoetry =20
reading. She received her PhD (2004) on her dissertation "Jeanette =20
Winterson's Enchanted Science" -- a novelist also writing about =20
science. Annemarie=92s poetry suggests a hint of the magical in our =20
controlled urban environment of concrete and asphalt geometries. Her =20
poems reveal spiritual presence in what can be quantified, managed =20
and measured. But can the human spirit be measured as well? Religion =20
and psychology seem to be voices in the wind, when compared to the =20
new insights of neuroscience. Are subjectivity, spirituality and =20
creativity really =91just=92 products of neurons and networks? And if =
so, =20
what does that world of electric signaling look like? Annemarie works
=20=
at the Theoretical Neurobiology lab at Antwerp University to look for
=20=
the answers and mysteries of the human brain.

has shifted to writing creative non-fiction. She has done some =20
performance poetry and many presentations on the topic of ecofeminism.
Much of her writing explores a connection to place, to landscape, and
=20=
she is interested in the ways that scientific knowledge can enhance
=20=
emotional, spiritual, intuitive responses to the land. She writes =20
about both the landscape and the body as places where we see the =20
environmental crisis played out.

This panel will consist of excerpts from three of the episodes of
Motherhood Lost: Conversations, an educational television series
co-produced by Linda Layne and Heather Bailey at George Mason
University Television which advocates a women??s health approach
to pregnancy loss. Footage from ?¨Normalizing Miscarriage Through
Popular Culture: A Conversation with Heather Swain, author of
Luscious Lemon?Æ (Silver Davey award 2005, Gracie award 2006) and
?¨Making Loss Visible: A Conversation with Joanne Leonard,
Distinguished University Professor of Art and Women??s Studies,
University of Michigan?Æ and ?¨Combating the Criminalization of
Stillbirth and Miscarriage: A Conversation with Lynn Paltrow,
Esq., Executive Director of National Advocates for Pregnant
Women?Æ will be the starting point for a discussion comparing the
strategic potentialities of the visual and verbal arts, legal
briefs and legislative testimony. What is at stake when pregnancy
loss is kept hidden or made visible? When, why, and whose
pregnancy losses are hidden or made visible? What roles
can/should art play? What are the special qualities of the
visual arts, fiction, first person, and legal accounts as
expressive media for loss? How is medicine represented in each of
these accounts?
Key Words: Pregnancy Loss, Fiction, Visual Arts, Law,
Seen/Unseen, representation, medicine
