Last week, at Margaux Fragoso, NJCU. Writer, we remembered a beloved student, friend, fellow writer. Margaux only published one book, TIGER TIGER, though she wrote much mote. She had so many more books in her. She died at age 38 of ovarian cancer.

Next week, Angel Eduardo at NJCU!

One of the first of many pearls I’m excited to share from my new book, out in May! As TVTropes would say, I had to give a #titledrop to for #TheAllureofElsewhere!

What I need to remember today in my writing: "For the drama to deepen, we must see the loneliness of the monster and the cunning of the innocent. Above all, it is the narrator who must complicate in order that the subject be given life." Vivian Gornick, The Situation and the Story

Today I was planning to talk to my students about surrendering to the story. This is the perfect quote! Will use it. Thank you!

Coming September 2, 2025 from Akashic Books!

On Our Problematic Obsession with First-Love Stories We first entered one another’s orbit when I was ten years old, at a sleepover organized by the local youth group. Over the next few years, I would see him sometimes, in amongst a pack of tracksuite…

Emily Usher on the unrealistic idealism first-love stories and why more literature should depict crushes in their messy, authentic glory.

This book is changing everything about how we understand what makes lyric essays tick and how we teach them. If you don’t have it yet, go now. You need this book.

Four months before the Triangle fire, on November 26, 1910, another fire, eerily similar, killed women factory workers in Newark. At this event we remember Newark & Triangle together.

"No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws.” ~ Pat Conroy

An extraordinary book about Sicily—MY ISLAND IS LAS VEGAS (2012). The essays are spectacular.

"When her mother is diagnosed with a rare cancer, Karen Babine—cook, collector of vintage cast iron, and fiercely devoted daughter, sister, and aunt—can’t help but wonder: feed a fever, starve a cold, but what do we do for cancer?"

In primavera, nel bel mezzo della pandemia, come progetto del corso fece la coreografia del balletto "Dance of the Seamstress," ispirato all'incendio della Triangle e ballò a Washington Square Park.

Today is National Essay Day: So Start Thinking By Dinty W. Moore Though much of our focus on the Brevity Blog is the art of memoir writing, the genre we call creative or literary nonfiction is far wider in scope, and it would be a shame for wri…

Your painful childhood, your relationship with one parent or another, the illness that almost sunk your marriage, the inconsolable loss that rocked your life at age fifty, are deep and worthy subjects for your pen, but that’s not all you have to write about.

Hi, I am from Italy and live in the US. Wonderful to connect with European writers!

Memories Can’t Wait In Reading the Waves, Lidia Yuknavitch rewrites her life.

Former NBCC board member @anitafelicelli.bsky.social reviewed Lidia Yuknavitch's "Reading the Waves" for Alta:

Mentoring young writers continues to be a source of joy and reciprocal sustenance. Intergenerational connections are vital! Next week, a wonderful group of young women writers will “spin stories” at New Jersey City University.

Loved chatting with @tamarastarr.bsky.social at @wnyt.bsky.social about #familialhypercholesterolemia, the work of @familyheartfdn.bsky.social, and my new memoir! Learn more at www.caseymulliganwalsh.com

This is invaluable! Sharing with my memoir and speculative memoir students!
