Event Description
We’re thrilled to welcome author Esmé Weijun Wang, our Muse 2020 Fellow in Non-Fiction, to discuss her singular essay collection, The Collected Schizophrenias. This conversation will be as much about the process of writing and publishing The Collected Schizophrenias as about the content of the book itself. That said, we urge you to read The Collected Schizophrenias, which was lauded as "an intimate, moving book written with the immediacy and directness of one who still struggles with the effects of mental and chronic illness...Wang writes not just to her fellow members of the 'collected schizophrenias' but to those who wish to understand it as well." Wang will be in conversation with the fabulous Melody Moezzi, author of The Rumi Prescription.
Join Wang and Meozzi for an intimate discussion about the construction of The Collected Schizophrenias, the writing and publishing process, and more.
This event is free & open to the public. Pre-reading the collection is recommended, but not required.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
