Alysia Sawchyn Presents at AWP Conference
March 24, 2020
Alysia Sawchyn participated in the panel "In Defense of Navel-Gazing: Writing Trauma as a Political Act" at the Association of Writers and Writing Programs 2020 Conference in San Antonio, TX.
The panel focused on the confessional, therapeutic, cathartic: words attributed to writing about trauma, often to disregard or deride the writing, and to separate it from serious literary work.
