Join Callaloo, the premier journal of African Diaspora arts and letters, for an intimate literary conversation between acclaimed writers Carvell Wallace and Keenan Norris as they explore the delicate art of turning lived experience into compelling narrative. Wallace and Norris will discuss what it means to write oneself—and one's community and family—onto the page: the vulnerability, the craft, the ethical tightropes, and the unexpected discoveries that come with nonfiction and memoir. Moderated by Callaloo's Executive Editor, Kyla Kupferstein Torres, don't miss this chance to hear two distinctive Black male writers reflect on their work.
