At AWP in Baltimore, I’ll be in conversation with writers Emma Copley Eisenberg, Paul Lisicky, Reena Shah, and Rachel Richardson:
Friendships rarely appear as central subjects in stories about adult life, though they are often our sturdiest and longest-lasting bonds. To center friendship is an act of resistance to a dominant heteronormative narrative. This panel seeks to investigate these under-written relationships. In novels, poetry, and essays, the panel will discuss friendship as a topic worth centering in our creative lives and work, and will explore the generative possibilities in the territory.
