Excited to be heading to Baltimore for Associate Writers Conference & Bookfair! (AWP). It is the largest literary event in the U.S., generally attracting between 8,000 and 12,000 attendees annually. The event includes over 600 exhibitors in the bookfair. John Waters is giving the keynote address!
Doing two events, a panel discussion and an off site reading. Creative Aging: Writing with Elders, Location: Room 314, Level 300, Baltimore Convention Center, Friday March, 6, 12:10 PM - 1:25 PM EST Session Code: F164.
Moderator: Andrea Ballou, Presenters: Gary Glazner, Martha Collins and Glecia Tatum.
How do we help elders use writing to unearth their own complexities—their pasts, presents, and futures; their thoughts and feelings, their struggles and joys? How to engage them to ask not only “Who was I then?” but “Who am I now?” Working with elders, from those living with Alzheimer’s to those who are cognitively well, panelists will share their diverse approaches to nurture a sense of agency, creativity, and delight.
