This event, moderated by Catherine Barry, explores the topic of how writing and art articulate disconnections and makes way for connection or even repair.  We will hear readings/conversation with writer, poet and educator Caroline M. Mar, novelist and short story writer Ethel Rohan and poet, essayist and critic Tess Taylor.  Caroline M. Mar is the great granddaughter of a railroad laborer and the author of Special Education and the forthcoming Dream of a Lake.  Award winning short story writer and novelist Ethel Rohan is the author of a novel, chapbook and three collections of short stories and the most recent of which is entitled In the Event of Contact.  Mar and Rohan will be joined by Tess Taylor, author of The Misremembered World and The Forage House.  She has spent 10 years as the poetry reviewer for NPR's All Things Considered.
