'Suturing Language' argues that cut-up poetry enacts a simultaneous practice of close-reading and close-writing. As an embodied and ecological practice of creative writing, cut-up poetry draws together contexts from social, cultural, and academic writing. In turn, the writing process offers a way to open the classroom to the contexts that creative writing students bring with them from communities that intersect with but exist beyond the university space. As such, cut-up poetics model what might be a ramp between the present moment and multiple futures, offering a response to the crisis of inaction implied by the question, 'well, what can I do now!?'
