Panel Discussion: Writing Desire
Featuring Lynn Steger Strong, Raven Leilani, Miranda Popkey, and others TBA
What is desire and how do we write it? Who's allowed to want and at what cost? How do we write about all the different ways that some of us have to earn our rights to wanting, to perform attractively as objects of other people's desire before we're given the time or space to have our own? In this panel, acclaimed authors Lynn Steger Strong (Want), Raven Leilani (Luster), Miranda Popkey (Topics of Conversation), and others discuss the structural and syntactical ways that authors can consider or upend these questions.
