This evening invites two leading psychoanalytic writers and thinkers to stage an encounter between psychoanalysis and poetry. What is psychoanalysis as a mode of linguistic experimentation? What is poetry as an engagement with the unconscious, desire, madness, and treatment? Jamieson Webster, psychoanalyst and author of On Breathing: Care in a Time of Catastrophe (2025), and Hannah Zeavin, historian and founding editor of the psychoanalytic magazine Parapraxis, will each read new work that addresses the importance of psychoanalysis for poetry and the importance of poetry for psychoanalysis.

This event will also be livestreamed for free on the Project’s YouTube channel.
