Lighthouse Writers LitFest - THE ART OF SELF-PORTRAITS (V)

What does it mean to be the cartographer of the self? To identify its multitudes when the body is a nesting doll of possibility? We show different sides of ourselves based on the choices we make. We also play different roles in our lifetime—sibling, friend, lover, worker, etc. In this seminar, participants will poetically document various “selves” through memory, sense, and voice. We'll look at the work of Lucille Clifton, Terrence Hayes, Brenda Shaughnessy, Vievee Francis, Ocean Vuong, and others who interrogate identity in various ways.
