The title comes from the work of **Georgiana Cojocaru**. In the Read session with Georgiana Cojocaru, we will discuss what are the virtual, fragile and always threatened possibilities for recovery of a body which is considered beyond repair, beyond any semblance to a former self. What attracts possibilities for re-knowing and re-ordering a living being ? How does a shattered mind move? When the poetic act tries to stay within this state, map its ambiance, its pulsations, its circuitous rhythsms what kind of creations emerge? How close is poetry to sentience? How could a stuttering, nervous awareness ordain itself into a virtual possibility: a story, a new plot, an impermanent thought that might materialize into a newborn possibility? Moreover, how do isomorphic, architectural aspects of the body premise said virtuality via poetry? When the body is in pain and needs to operate in chaotic/ traumatic contexts, how and why is poetic intention summoned?

In the writings of Michel Marder, vegetality constitutes plants’ ways of inhabiting chance and threat through grace. Vegetality is an infinity in itself, the healing texture after the violence that changes the forest. Through means of analogy (a trait of poetry itself) poetry attempts to design within and outside the perceptual realm, conceptualize it and then reciprocate it with new meanings and new ways of inhabiting a space and time. It attempts to delineate a new physics where elements are sought after for their rhythms, their cadences, their electric charges. Poetry is perhaps a new way of imagining gravity, a pulsation that tries to redefine it. Poeple who are caught in diasporic movements (involuntary, traumatic, life shattering) shaped by the forces of life, luck and bureaucratic technologies which come into play write this poetry of impossibilty with every day they manage to survive. All these forces mutate or mutilate life trajectories, modify or mute voices, bringing with them unforeseen potential or annihilation. In the Read session with Georgiana Cojocaru, we will discuss these two notions, and the parallels between them.
