Panel: Unpacking the Past to Understand the Present

Saturday Nov. 11, 3:15 PM to 4pm

Capitol Extension Room E2.010 (1100 Congress Avenue)

In this panel, authors Cynthia Manick and Eirinie Carson discuss grief, culture, and love from the lens of Black women. No Sweet Without Brine, Manick’s April 2023 release, is described as a “playlist of everyday life,” bringing memories of childhood and adulthood to life. Carson’s The Dead are Gods is a poignant depiction of life after the sudden death of Carson’s best friend.
