\u201cArchive: A Novel-Essay\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a young writer, I studied creative nonfiction before landing on fiction as my primary mode or genre. It was a decision I announced, I remember, at my MFA graduation, CNF-degree in hand. For the next fifteen years I wrote and studied fiction, albeit often highly autobiographical or hybrid forms, such as autofiction and the roman \u00e0 clef. Yet a few years ago, I found myself thinking seriously again about creative nonfiction, alongside the archives of several writers who had influenced my own work: Clarice Lispector, Zora Neale Hurston, Virginia Woolf and Kathy Acker, to name a few. With support from a summer grant, I\u2019ve been spending time inside these writers\u2019 archives, official and unofficial, while writing a series of essays about coming into my own creative self-awareness via readings of their work. In this presentation, I\u2019ll talk about the project\u2019s inception, read excerpts from completed lyric essays on Virginia Woolf and Kathy Acker, and show images from the archives of Clarice Lispector and Zora Neale Hurston.
\nSome guiding questions:
\nHow does creative practice both determine and anchor change?
\nHow might a creative practice mediate internal and external worlds?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em>Teresa Carmody<\/i>, Ph.D., is a writer, editor and publisher. Her most recent book, Maison Femme: a fiction (2015), is a roman a’ clef about two women who run an independent press out of their basement in Los Angeles. Written via constraints and incorporating images by Vanessa Place, Maison Femme draws on the structure of their shared house to explore the border between writing and publishing, between private and public, between memory and the archive. Carmody is also the author of Requiem (2005), a micro-collection of short stories lauded by the American Book Review as “darkly poignant,” and which David L. Ulin describes a “marked throughout by its own quiet tone of authority, which works to peel back the surface of what we imagine and examine what is going on underneath.”<\/p>\n
