Rosellen Brown, "Coming to Writing"
Location: Residence Inn by Marriott, Pentagon City, 550 Army Navy Drive, Arlington VA 22202
Rosellen Brown, a renowned fiction writer and poet, is the author of two books of poetry and five novels, including The Autobiography of My Mother, Tender Mercies, Civil Wars, Before and After and Half a Heart. Her novel Before and After was made into a major motion picture, starring Meryl Streep and Liam Neeson. Brown’s short stories have appeared in O’Henry Prize Stories, Best American Short Stories and Pushcart Prize anthologies. She is the recipient of Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts awards and is a faculty member of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In “Coming to Writing,” she will discuss the creative and psychological roots of her writing, which often places characters in extreme or traumatic situations, challenging their capacity to come to terms with the suddenly altered landscapes of their lives.
