Event Details
Thomas Beller, Beth Ann Fennelly, and physician-writer David Weill, MD join moderator Jedidiah Jenkins to explore memoir and personal essay writing as an act of reclaiming identity through observation and reflection. Drawing on decades of writing across literature, poetry, and medicine, and reflecting on their own deeply personal work, the panelists discuss how the act of narrative reconstruction allows a writer to unify a lifetime’s worth of selves and to own identity.
