Date: Monday, July 8, 5:30-7:30 pm ET
Location: Online (Zoom)
What happens when we dismiss rage—our own or each other’s? Anger is culturally maligned as immature, reactionary, hysterical, thus easily dismissed by the structures that be. But what connects us to seemingly insurmountable forces of oppression is just that—our fury in the face of indignity. In this lecture, Raena will offer new insights into anger as a generative tool in the writing process, thinking, always, about the relationship between author and subject, guiding attendees in their own journeys towards writing rage ethically.
All registrants will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a free, signed copy of summonings by Raena Shirali. You can purchase additional raffle tickets below.
