Manage episode 301749281 series 2090480
Day 1, Episode 1
To kick off the podcast interviews at AWP, we were thrilled to talk to Lilly Dancyger. Her new memoir, Negative Space, comes out May 2021 with Santa Fe Writers Project. She’s the editor of the essay collection, Burn It Down: Women Writing About Anger, and a contributing editor at Catapult. Among the other fantastic things with which she’s involved, she founded and co-hosts a reading series and newsletter (which you should subscribe to) called Memoir Monday.
Honorable mentions:
Artist Joe Schactman, Dancyger’s father whose story her memoir pieces together
Writer Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir The Chronology of Water
Memoir Monday’s partner publications Catapult, Granta, Guernica, Narratively, The Rumpus, and Literary Hub
