CHARLES BAXTER: WRITING DURING A TIME OF POLITICAL TURMOIL 

Saturday, March 28
4 — 5:15 PM—Writer’s Craft Session
CHARLES BAXTER: WRITING DURING A TIME OF POLITICAL TURMOIL 
How do we write about social matters when the issues seem toxic and increasingly polarized? What does the writer have to do when every reader knows who the villain is? Using his recent experience as a citizen of Minneapolis, Charles Baxter will lead a discussion about using oblique means and unusual angles to address thorny political questions. Robert Penn Warren’s novel All the King’s Men and Allen Ginsberg’s poem “America” will serve as exemplary texts.
