In the midst of a worldwide pandemic, how does an artist catch the day and conceive of keeping to a schedule and building a scaffolding for writing? This panel is a conversation between three authors on broken scaffolding, and a report on and exploration of diverse methods of reading, writing, and teaching outside of a schedule while negotiating global imbalance. How does a pandemic reform our notions of time? The pages we read and write? And the classes we teach? Perhaps, “the task of art today” is as James Baldwin acknowledges: “A society must assume that it is stable, but the artist must know, and he must let us know, that there is nothing stable under heaven.”
