“Remember Me” by Susan Knox appeared in Issue 30 and can be read here.
We’d love to hear more about this essay.
I started writing shortly before my son died in 1999. For the next few years I wrote a number of pieces about him and his death but I didn’t address the subject as a publishable story until four or five years later. I enrolled in a class where the assignment was to use different types of forms to realize a piece. Since I’d done so much early writing, the piece came to me easily and the form is one I enjoy using.
Recommend a book for us which was published with the last decade.
Weight of Ink by Rachel Kusher
If you could have a drink with any living author, who would it be? Why?
Ruth Ozeki. I’ve read most of her work and admire it. I met her years ago and was drawn to her kind and graceful way of dealing with aspiring writers.
Our thanks to Susan for taking the time to answer a few questions and share her work. Read Susan’s essay, “Remember Me” , here: https://www.sequestrum.org/nonfiction-remember-me.
