Calvocoressi will read from Rocket Fantastic, the third book of poetry from the associate professor at UNC Chapel Hill. She’ll be joined by the week’s poet-in-residence Gabrielle Calvocoressi, an award-winning poet, professor and editor at large at the Los Angeles Review of Books. EDT Sunday, July 12, on the Virtual Porch, Henderson will give a reading from a work-in-progress memoir, prospectively titled Everything I Have Is Yours, which details Henderson’s 20-year relationship with her husband. “I’m a fiction writer by trade - I’ve published two novels about people very different from myself, whether that’s culturally, regionally, racially or religiously.”Īt 3:30 p.m. “A question that I ask my students in class is: How do we tell ethical stories about other people, whether they’re real or imagined?” she said. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I interrogated my access to writing as a particular kind of privilege.”Īnd it’s those issues of privilege and authorial intention in fiction writing that Henderson said her week-long Chautauqua workshop will address. “It’s something I’ve always taken for granted as something I could do. “I would tell stories, and mostly I would plagiarize them from books that I read or shows on Nickelodeon,” said Henderson, an author, educator and the Chautauqua Writers’ Center’s Week Three prose writer-in-residence. From the time she was little, Eleanor Henderson said she always wanted to write stories.
