[BOOK CLUB] Finding Comfort in Chaos with Nina Rota
Julia Ingalls was kind enough to interview me in the Los Feliz Ledger on July 31, 2019. We talked about the the quarterly reading series Sara Finnerty Turgeon and I organize at the Women’s Center for Creative Work, and my book of linked essays in progress titled Walls Crumble Before Me…
And yes, we also talked about finding some comfort in the chaos that is know as identity.
I won the Live Write contest at Roar Shack last month so I get to read at this month’s event on October 14, 4-6pm, at 826LA in Echo Park (next to Stories bookstore). Actually, I didn’t win, I tied, but not bad for having to write a six-minute story on a prompt chosen by someone else that you then have to read in front of a large group of people. I was terrified!
A bunch of talented writers, all women—appropriately, will be reading with me: Angela Stubbs, Kristin Casey, Sandy Yang, Tamala Whittley, and Tara Taylor Donlan.
Wine and cookies await you.
