There is no linear nature to healing. Our journeys carry us back to our homelands, into the depths of personal legend, and even beyond, into the farthest imagined expanses of our own minds. There, we may find no time machine, but the brilliant hands of an alchemist hard at work, dreaming honey where once there was molten rock, carving a new story for ourselves. In this panel, four powerful writers, Maneo Mohale, Addie Tsai, and Corinne Manning, delve into conversations about trauma in their writing. Moderated by Mercedes Eng.
