Body Speak: Physicality of Illness as Character Development

How might consideration of bodily maladies and physical health help develop our writing practice? Program alumna, heart-failure nurse, and author (Shadow Migration: Mapping a Life, Nebraska Press, 2022) Suzanne Ohlmann will help explore this question via lecture, interactive discussion, prompts, and timed writings. We will also learn how to check our radial and carotid pulse, how to stimulate the vagus nerve, and to use those basic skills to center ourselves in writing practice.

Reading and discussion (like Between Two Ferns but without the Ferns and also without Zach Galifianakis) with Nancy McCabe, author of Can This Marriage Be Saved? and five other books. See her website at www.nancymccabe.net — this woman is a gift.

Two writers, Two Suzannes, Two New Books, one place! Come to The Twig Bookshop in San Antonio, Texas, at the historic Pearl Brewery for an unforgettable event.

“How do we reckon with our losses? In Animal Bodies Suzanne Roberts explores the link between death and desire and what it means to accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny, or consider only with shame—our taboo desires and our grief.”
