This Fall Convergence will focus on SPECULATION and its many diverse dimensions. We are in a uniquely speculative moment\u2014speculative fiction, speculative realism, and projective poetry mingle with futurisms of all manners, including speculation on the end of the world as such. Across the domains of experimental writing and philosophy, the question of whether we can see ourselves in these speculums, becomes crucial to understanding the singular act of writing in a world of multiplicities, emergent and abiding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
