About the Work: Francesca Leader
Francesca Leader
"I delved into my own sense memories from my childhood in rural Montana to find such details. I also worked in implications of the narrator's past and future that transformed the piece from a vignette into an actual story."

An Interview with Ben Purkert
Tom Sokolowski
"And so, if I’m going to earn their time and attention, I need to ensure that there’s always something compelling them to turn from one page to the next. It could be a big secret, or a small one, but it should sustain them and reward their interest. Otherwise, I mean, there’s a whole fucking world out there."

Writing to Heal or Writing to Share: Beyond “Mere Expression of Emotion” in Personal Narrative
Emma Hudelson
"Yes, writing can be healing. But writing for wellness is not the same as writing a finished piece. Once the memory is on paper—the work begins. In my own experience, that work offers many challenges, but just as many benefits."

We reserve this space on our homepage for social justice advocacy resources.

We acknowledge that our Tallahassee offices at Florida State University are located on the ancestral and traditional homelands of the Apalachee Nation, the Muscogee Nation, the Miccosukee Tribe of Florida, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. We pay respect to their tribal members past and present, to their descendants, and to all Indigenous peoples.

 

We recognize that this land was forcibly taken from these Indigenous peoples and altered through settler colonial violence and dispossession, and we recognize that simply acknowledging this isn’t enough. We will seek out ways that we can support advocacy for Indigenous people and better honor the relationships these Indigenous Nations maintain with this land. If you have suggestions of advocacy resources we can help share or other actions we can take, please email our Editor.
