RU8: Rendering Germ Lynn Unconscious, Non-binary Poet & Cellist on creative process

On this episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast, Dr. Vanessa Sinclair interviews Germ Lynn, a writer and cellist living in Brooklyn, NY. Vacillating between non-fiction and “black out” poetry, they interrogate memory by lacerating the body text, generating new forms through a process of personal healing. Their work has been described as “brutal, luxe, reflective and compassionate and investigates themes of horror, trauma and ultimately, forgiveness. Germ Lynn contributed blackout poetry to the anthology Rendering Unconscious: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, Politics and Poetry (Trapart, 2019) https://store.trapart.net/details/00000 Germ and Vanessa co-curated a compilation album entitled COVEN via the label Highbrow-Lowlife, which was released October 31, 2017.
