SUMMARY:How-To Tuesday: Writing Rage in Enraging Times with Amy Monticello
DESCRIPTION:As writers\, we’re often told that rage can turn a reader off. And yet we live in an angry time. This session focuses on writing rage that enhances the insights of creative nonfiction rather than dilutes them. \nAmy’s talk treats rage as a complex rather than simple emotion—one that has endless iterations. She will analyze works where rage enters the narrative voice\, enhancing its urgency\, transgression\, reclamation\, and humor. \nBrief takeaways: \n\nRage has a bad rap but this is often weaponized against writers (largely women and BIPOC writers)\nRage is like any emotion — it can be used bluntly or with subtlety\nRage can be enormously satisfying and/or freeing to write\nRage provides a heat source that powers other emotions and insights\n\nAttendees will leave this talk armed with rage as a craft tool of precision and candor. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Monticello is the author of Close Quarters\, a chapbook memoir about unconventional divorce (Sweet Publications)\, and the essay collection How to Euthanize a Horse\, which won the 2016 Arcadia Press Chapbook Prize in Nonfiction. \nShe is also co-author\, along with husband Jason Tucker\, of The Routledge Introduction to American Life Writing (2023). Her work has been published in the North American Review\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, Creative Nonfiction\, Brevity\, under the gum tree\, the Iron Horse Literary Review\, Hotel Amerika\, CALYX\, The Rumpus\, and Assay: A Journal of Nonfiction Studies. She teaches at Suffolk University in Boston.
