About this program
This presentation will show how different writing genres can be used to explore difficult topics. Working with the novel These Are Not the Words –– a semi-autobiographical novel in poetry and prose –– we’ll look at how the writing used sound and rhythm as a setting for themes of addiction and mental health. We’ll also discuss the role of memory, fact, and fiction in shaping an autobiographical novel.
Readings from These Are Not the Words will be followed by a Q & A.
Equipment And Other Requirements: A projector compatible a computer for a memory stick.
