Join Beth Robbins, Hannah Van Sickle, and Simon Winchester for an exploration of memoir — both as a vehicle for navigating grief and a creative act that ultimately gave shape to the authors’ respective experiences. The discussion mediated by Simon Winchester, will include a reading from both memoirs: Robbins’ A Grief Sublime (Keats & Company, 2019) and Van Sickle’s Circle of Control.\nUse Your Words brings writers, readers, and listeners together for evenings of sharing and conversation. Each date will be hosted by a different local writer, with readings by colleagues, students, writing groups, published authors, and storytellers. Themes will include Emergence, Grief, Creaturely Stories, Lives Gone Off Script, True Tales, Memoirs, and more. The hosts will open conversations around each evening’s themes, but also talk about writing practices, writing groups, and other skills to empower the art of writing and to encourage reading.\nSimon Winchester He was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) ‘for services to journalism and literature’ in the New Year Honours list for 2006.
