A reading


On Sunday, March 26, 18 writers joined Passager on Zoom to read their poems, essays and stories related to personal trauma. The reading was followed by a conversation about writing about trauma, the process, the challenges, and the healing. Featuring guest editor Christine Lincoln. The recording is now online at Youtube, divided into two parts: Part I is the reading and conversation; Part 2 introduces artist Lenett Partlow-Myrick who shares her story about creating the cover art, “Tears of Radiant Light.”

In the video description, if you click “Show more” you can see the list of readers. Click on the timestamp next to my name to jump to my appearance in the video. 

Copies of this issue on trauma are still available at the online store of Passager.

Claire Kahane spent part of the 1950s and 60s on the road, propelled by a lust for adventure, and the will to challenge the expectations for women of her family and culture. Years later, as a Professor of English at the University at Buffalo, and informed by her study of psychoanalysis, she wrote and edited books and essays which explored gender conflict in modern fiction, the dark appeal of Gothic literature, Holocaust trauma, and the perverse novels of Ian McEwan. Her memoir, Nine Lives, testifies to her dynamic re-invention of self over nine decades. She lives in Berkeley and continues to write both memoir pieces and literary criticism.
