You are invited to CREATIVE NONFICTION NOW, sponsored by the MFA Program in Creative Writing & Literary Translation–October 18, 2023. The event will include reading and conversation with  Bridgett Davis, Carina del Valle Schorske, and Cutter Wood, moderated by alum and colleague Francesca Hyatt. Zoom registration here.

Think growing up in Detroit 1970s Detroit with a mother who was a numbers runner; Puerto Rican backup dancers, graffiti artists, indigenous cave painters, state-funded photographers, tenement dwellers, and out-of-print poets; and investigative reporting on the vicissitudes of human waste (including a vomit cult).

These are great writers. They’ll discuss their publication experience, what “Creative Nonfiction” means—if it means anything—as well as the first-hand research they do for their projects—spending time in places, interviewing strangers, friends, and family. There will be plenty of time for spontaneous discussion.
