Shapes of Psychedelic Literature: A Conversation with "Elastic" Magazine

Tuesday, Sep 15, 2026, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Thompson Room (Barker Center 110)
12 Quincy St.
Cambridge

In celebration of Elastic magazine's newly released second volume, join us for a conversation about the possibilities of psychedelic literature—writing that bends time, genre, and perspective; blurs waking and dreaming life; and otherwise expands beyond imagined boundaries to render our twisted present and experiences that resist straightforward or linear description. How might writing that is speculative, surreal, or formally unruly access the deepest kind of realism? What becomes possible when we move beyond the narrative shapes we've inherited?
