The AWP Conference in Parody
August 23, 2011
The website Full Stop has the best parody of the conference that we’ve since Nin Andrews published “Poets on Poets / notes from AWP” in the Spring 2000 issue of the Paris Review. The conference schedule at Full Stop includes: “Keynote Speaker: James Franco on Media Saturation. Featuring an introduction by Gary Shteyngart. James Franco on how to be everywhere at once: movies, soap operas, books, magazines, pornos, ape-planets. Brought to you by James Franco.” Full Stop’s conference schedule includes many other events that we find equally provocative, insulting, and hilarious.
