SUMMARY:BMI Live: The Art of Retelling the Truth featuring Melissa Febos\, Jamie Hood\, and Isle McElroy
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Febos and Jamie Hood are two of the most astute essayists working today on the subject of trauma and embodiment. For Febos\, this has taken the form of memoirs like Abandon Me and The Dry Season\, where she interrogates her life with the rigor and wit of a scholar. For Febos\, no statement\, no feeling\, no memory goes unexamined. Hood engages with a similar practice in her critical essays and books. In How to Be a Good Girl\, Hood explored notions of ideal womanhood and its threats through lyric essays and poems; in her latest\, Trauma Plot\, she charts the intersections between her personal traumas and the social responses to trauma narratives following the advent of MeToo. Both writers are esteemed\, relentless surveyors of the self. In this conversation moderated by 2025-26 Shearing Fellow Isle McElroy\, Febos and Hood will discuss queerness\, embodiment\, trauma\, and the narratives we create to make sense of ourselves.
