The Best Stories Are Yours
Exploring Duality in Identity, Experience, and Tradition for Writers and Writing
Critical and creative works often reflect two sides of identity: experience and tradition. Experience explores what it means to be between two cultures, lifestyles, habits, languages, genders, heritages, realities, and selves. Tradition reflects on customs, touchstones, and figures.
Authors of fiction, memoir, and poetry Adele Annesi, Nicholas A. DiChario, Marc DiPaolo, Annie Rachele Lanzilotto, and Janet Sylvester will read excerpts from their work and discuss the role of duality in their creative efforts, followed by a Q&A.
This virtual event will take place from 1:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. PT (4:45 - 6:00 p.m. ET).
