SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Mothers and Other Fictional Characters (Nicole Graev Lipson)
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a reading\, then hear the story behind the stories during Stories on Sunday with Nicole Graev Lipson\, author of Mothers and Other Fictional Characters: A Memoir in Essays. \nAll Stories on Sundays guest readers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine. Nicole’s essay “The New Pretty” was the runner-up in our 2020 Remember in November Contest for Creative Nonfiction and we also nominated it for a Pushcart Prize that year. \nFrom the Jacket Copy: What does it take to escape the plotlines mapped onto us? Searching for clues in the work of her literary foremothers\, Lipson untangles what it means to be a girl\, a woman\, a lover\, a partner\, a daughter\, and a mother in a world all too ready to reduce us to stock characters. Whether she’s testing the fragile borders of fidelity\, embracing the taboo power of female friendship\, escaping her family for the solitude of the mountains\, or letting go of the children she imagined for the ones she’s raising\, Lipson pushes beyond the easy\, surface stories we tell about ourselves to brave less certain territory. \nRisky and revealing\, nourishing and affirming\, rigorous and sexy\, Mothers and Other Fictional Characters is a shimmering love letter to our forgotten selves—and the ones we’re still becoming. \nWe hope you will join us! Note: All registered attendees will get a link to the recording\, so be sure to register even if you cannot make it life. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nAll Stories on Sundays guest readers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: No Offense: A Memoir in Essays (Jackie Domenus)
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a reading\, then hear the story behind the stories during Stories on Sunday with Jackie Domenus\, author of No Offense: A Memoir in Essays.\n \nFrom the Jacket Copy: When Jackie “came out” in 2014\, right as the Trump era was revving up\, she began paying closer attention to the inappropriate questions\, uncomfortable reactions\, and pointed assumptions about sexuality and gender she was witnessing and now experiencing firsthand. \nNo Offense: A Memoir in Essays takes a magnifying glass to subtle moments that many people don’t recognize as homophobic or transphobic\, exploring the impact of microaggressions on LGBTQ+ folks. Blending personal essay and cultural critique\, the collection confronts society’s reactions to queerness at poignant moments in Jackie’s life\, from wedding planning to OBGYN appointments to the Pulse Nightclub Massacre\, and beyond. Revealing the complex and tender moments that sculpted their identity from a tomboy adolescence to gender exploration as an adult\, No Offense analyzes the loaded conversations queer and trans folks face every day on topics like labels\, haircuts\, Halloween costumes\, and more. \nWe hope you will join us! Note: All registered attendees will get a link to the recording\, so be sure to register even if you cannot make it life. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: The One Who Loves You: Growing Up Biracial in a Black and White World (Shannon Luders-Manuel)
DESCRIPTION: Note: On mobile\, some users aren’t able to see the entire check-out form\, which is preventing the ability to add a quantity. We apologize for the issue. If you are unable to pre-register\, you can join in at this link\, staring at 7 p.m. ET: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86819839055 In the meantime\, we have a support ticket into our event plug-in app as this is an issue with their code not adapting to mobile device screen size.  \nEnjoy a reading\, then hear the story behind the stories during Stories on Sunday with Shannon Luders-Manuel author of The One Who Loves You: Growing Up Biracial in a Black and White World. (Please note the date change! This is now scheduled for 3/30) \n\nAbout the Book: As a child\, Shannon Luders-Manuel felt like an outsider in every environment she entered. Born to a Black father and white mother who separated when she was three\, Luders-Manuel grew up with her white extended family\, in largely white areas of California. Throughout her life\, she yearned to understand her charismatic\, transient father—whose promises were rarely kept\, who struggled with alcohol and violence\, and whose love she desperately needed. How could she find a place among two worlds—one white and one Black—when they felt so different? \nLuders-Manuel sought guidance in Baptist religion\, becoming a born-again Christian at age fourteen\, and eventually found herself in an abusive relationship. When her father entered hospice care when she was just twenty-four\, she became his caretaker despite their long estrangement and hoped to find connection while she still could. Instead\, she learned that neither man nor God could give her the home she needed—she would have to build her own sense of self. \nThe One Who Loves You eloquently speaks not only to mixed-race individuals but to anyone who struggles with being labeled by others and to those who seek to reconcile the most contradictory parts of their own identities. \nWe hope you will join us! Note: All registered attendees will get a link to the recording\, so be sure to register even if you cannot make it life. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nShannon Luders-Manuel is the author of The One Who Loves You: A Memoir of Growing Up Biracial in a Black and White World\, published in February 2025 by Lawrence Hill Books\, an imprint of Chicago Review Press. Her work has appeared in The New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, JSTOR Daily\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books\, among others. She holds an M.A. in English literature from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, and lives in Los Angeles. \nAll Stories on Sundays speakers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine and Books; Shannon was a past scholarship recipient to our in-person conference for creative nonfiction writers\, HippoCamp.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Paul Rousseau (Friendly Fire: A Fractured Memoir)
DESCRIPTION: Note: if you’re reading this on mobile\, the full ticket instructions might not be showing in the ticket box above; to register\, add your chosen dollar amount and number of tickets using the + sign. (For a free ticket\, simply put in $0.) Ticket includes live event and access to recording.  \nEnjoy a reading\, then hear the story behind the stories during Stories on Sunday with author Paul Rousseau. \nAll Stories on Sunday guest readers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine. A past contributor\, Paul received a Pushcart Prize nomination for the essay “Curiously Colored & Timely Animals + Other Things Forgotten Post Brain Surgery” which appeared in our May-June 2021 issue. \nAbout the Book: One month before his college graduation\, Paul Rousseau is accidentally shot in the head by his roommate and best friend. \nAt some point in the course of Paul and Mark’s friendship\, Mark acquired — legally and with required permits — five firearms. Those weapons lived with them in their college apartment. It was a non-issue for the two best friends. They were inseparable. They were twenty-two-year-old boys at the height of their college experience\, unaware that everything was about to change forever. \nThe bullet ripped through two walls before it struck Paul’s skull. Mark had accidentally pulled the trigger while in the other room and — frightened for his own future — delayed getting treatment for Paul\, who miraculously remained conscious the entire time. In vivid detail\, Friendly Fire brings us into the world of both the shooting itself and its surgical counterpoint — the dark spaces of survival in the face of a traumatic brain injury and into the paranoid\, isolating\, dehumanizing maw of personal injury cases. \nFriendly Fire: A Fractured Memoir is the story of a friendship — both its formation and its destruction. Through phenomenal writing and gripping detail\, Paul reveals a compelling and inspirational story that speaks to much of contemporary American life. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nPaul Rousseau is a Disabled writer. His debut\, Friendly Fire: A Fractured Memoir is forthcoming from HarperCollins September 10\, 2024. Paul’s writing has also appeared in Roxane Gay’s The Audacity\, Catapult\, Hippocampus\, Wigleaf\, and the San Francisco Chronicle\, among others. You can read his work online at Paul-Rousseau.com and follow him on Twitter @Paulwrites7.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Kirsten Reneau (Sensitive Creatures)

(For a free ticket\, simply put in $0.) Ticket includes live event and access to recording. \nEnjoy a reading\, then hear the story behind the stories during Stories on Sunday with essayist Kirsten Reneau. \nIn an unflinching yet hopeful prose\, Sensitive Creatures (Belle Point Press; March 2024) explores the most animal parts of our human nature. Discussions of various creatures in the natural world serve as portals to the painful realities Kirsten Reneau confronts in the process of breaking—and remaking—a home. \nHonest in their descriptions of sexual assault and its traumatic effects\, these essays are at once clinical and lyrical reflections on the ways that desire can permeate our lives for better or worse\, as well as how it can be channeled into a lifegiving force for women in a world often hostile to their basic needs. Sensitive Creatures ultimately is a story of darkness\, resilience\, and the light that still manages to crack through. \nAll Stories on Sunday guest readers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine. A past contributor\, Kirsten received a Pushcart Prize nomination for the essay “An Incredibly Brief and Unfinished History of Sound\,” which appeared in our March-April 2019 issue. We also published “Bar Bathroom Graffiti in New Orleans: A One Year Catalog” in September-October 2020. Both of these essays appear in her debut collection! \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nKirsten Reneau is a writer living in the south. She graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan College and received her MFA from the University of New Orleans. In addition to her first full-length collection Sensitive Creatures\, she is the author of two chapbooks\, and her work has been published in The Threepenny Review\, Alaska Quarterly Review\, Reed Magazine\, and others.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Penny Guisinger (Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions)
DESCRIPTION: Note: if you’re reading this on mobile\, the full ticket instructions might not be showing in the ticket box above; to register\, add your chosen dollar amount and number of tickets using the + sign. (For a free ticket\, simply put in $0.) Ticket includes live event and access to recording. \nJoin Penny Guisinger for a reading from Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions\, followed by a conversation led by Alexis Paige and an audience Q&A. (Paige is author of Work Hard\, Not Smart: How to Make a Messy Literary Life and Not a Place On Any Map and the nonfiction acquisitions editor at Vine Leaves Press.) \nAbout the Book: Penny Guisinger was not always attracted to women. In Shift she recounts formative relationships with women and men\, including the marriage that produced her two children and ultimately ended in part due to her affair with her now-wife. Beginning her story as straight and ending as queer\, she struggles to make sense of how her identity changed so profoundly while leaving her feeling like the same person she’s always been. Shift examines sexual and romantic fluidity while wrestling with the ways past and present mingle rather than staying in linear narratives. Under scrutiny\, Guisinger’s sense of her own identity becomes like a Mobius strip or Penrose triangle—an optical illusion that challenges the dimensions and possibilities of the world. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nAbout Our Speaker\nPenny Guisinger is the author of Postcards from Here and the forthcoming Shift: A Memoir of Identity and Other Illusions. All of our speakers have a connection to Hippocampus Magazine; she’s not only a past contributor to the magazine\, but she also co-authored (with Alexis Paige) a chapter for Getting to the Truth: The Craft and Practice of Creative Nonfiction. \nPenny’s work has also appeared in Fourth Genre\, River Teeth\, Under the Gum Tree\, and others. Pushcart nominated\, a Maine Literary Award winner\, and a three-time notable in Best American Essays\, she is a co-director of Iota Short Forms and a former assistant editor at Brevity. Penny is a graduate of the Stonecoast MFA Program.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Chantha Nguon & Kim Green (Slow Noodles)
DESCRIPTION:Kicking off our Stories on Sundays series is Slow Noodles: A Cambodian Memoir of Love\, Loss\, and Family Recipes by Chantha Nguon with Kim Green. \nIn this online event that’s sure to be packed with flavor\, you will hear readings from this much-anticipated memoir\, then hear the story behind the book and much more in a Q&A with Chantha\, along with co-author Kim Green. Chantha’s daughter Clara Kim\, who wrote the book’s epilogue and narrated the audio book\, will also join in on the discussion. \nThis event is especially meaningful for us: In 2021\, Hippocampus Magazine published “The Gradual Extinction of Softness” by Chantha Nguon with Kim Green\, an essay which was later named a best essay of the year (and republished) by Longreads. \nSlow Noodles has been getting much praise in recent weeks\, so we’re updating this event listing to share these accolades\, such as: \n\nThe 30 New Books We Can’t Wait to Read (Reader’s Digest)\nWashington Post’s Book Suggestions for 2024\nThese New Books Could Be Some of the Best Reads of 2024 (San Francisco Chronicle)\nZibby Owens’ Predictions for the 2024 Bestseller Lists\n\nAbout the book: In Slow Noodles\, Chantha Nguon recounts her life as a Cambodian refugee who loses everything and everyone—home\, family\, and country—all but the remembered tastes and aromas of her mother’s kitchen. She takes us back to the quiet rhythms of 1960s Battambang\, her provincial hometown\, before the dictator Pol Pot tore her country apart and exterminated more than a million Cambodians\, including ethnic Vietnamese like Nguon and her family. Then\, as an emigrant in Saigon\, the author loses her mother\, brothers\, and sister and eventually flees to a refugee camp in Thailand. For two decades in exile\, she survives by cooking in a brothel\, serving drinks in a nightclub\, making and selling street food\, becoming a suture nurse\, and weaving silk. \nNguon’s irrepressible spirit and determination come through in this lyrical and inspirational memoir that includes more than twenty family recipes for dishes like chicken lime soup\, green papaya pickles\, and pâté de foie\, as well as Khmer curries\, stir-fries\, and handmade bánh canh noodles. Through it all\, recreating the dishes from her childhood becomes an act of resistance\, of reclaiming her place in the world\, of upholding the values the Khmer Rouge sought to destroy\, and of honoring the memory of her beloved mother\, whose “slow noodles” approach to healing and to cooking prioritized time and care over expediency. \nYou can pre-order the book here. \nBonus: Watch the Slow Noodles Book Trailer\n\nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nChantha Nguon\nChantha Nguon was born in Cambodia and spent two decades as a refugee\, until she was finally able to return to her homeland.

SUMMARY:STORIES ON SUNDAY: Jennifer Lang (Places We Left Behind)
DESCRIPTION:Hear Jennifer Lang read from Places We Left Behind: A Memoir in Miniature\, followed by a discussion with our flash editor Rae Pagliarulo and an audience Q&A. \nMore about the book: When American-born Jennifer falls in love with French-born Philippe during the First Intifada in Israel\, she understands their relationship isn’t perfect. Both 23\, both Jewish\, they lead very different lives: she’s a secular tourist\, he’s an observant immigrant. Despite their opposing outlooks on two fundamental issues — country and religion — they are determined to make it work. For the next 20 years\, they root and uproot their growing family\, each longing for a singular place to call home. \nIn Places We Left Behind\, Jennifer puts her marriage under a microscope\, examining commitment and compromise\, faith and family while moving between prose and poetry\, playing with language and form\, daring the reader to read between the lines. \nAbout the Series: Stories on Sundays are bi-monthly readings from a recent/forthcoming work of creative nonfiction followed by an author interview + audience Q&A. Your registration helps fund our contributor payments and other costs associated with running our journal. \nMeet the Speaker\nAn American-French-Israeli hybrid\, Jennifer writes about identity\, language\, home. While raising kids in the San Francisco Bay Area at the dawning of the internet\, she worked as copy editor/editor/content writer for BabyCenter\, PlanetRx\, and many other now obsolete .coms. But Jennifer dreamed of seeing her name on paper\, in print\, eventually writing for Parenting\, Parents\, Natural Solutions\, Scholastic\, Woman’s Day\, Real Simple. \nThen\, in the early 2000s\, something else caught her eye: the back-page essays. Who were these first-person voices and how did they tell such moving stories? Curious and on the opposite coast\, Jennifer enrolled in a creative nonfiction class: one\, which led to another\, and then another\, finally culminating in an MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
