I'll be talking about mindful writing as a panelist at the University of New Hampshire's Deep Time Lab this Tuesday. 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM.

Deep Time Lab: The Present is the first in a three-part series of community conversations exploring how we situate ourselves within Time. The series explores new connections between past, present, and potential futures through the research of UNH faculty and community scholars. The conversation is a compliment to the Solastalgic Archive and Deep Time Lab exhibition at the Museum of Art. The exhibition asks viewers to consider living in our current age of accelerated change, which reveals that there is not a single, predictable future. Panelists will explore the idea that history is a story that can be retold and revised: What will be is being scripted right now.

Deep Time Lab: The Present features a conversation between Dr. Cristina Faiver-Serna, UNH Department of Geography and Women's and Gender Studies, Dr. Alexandria Peary, Salem State University and New Hampshire Poet Laureate, and Dr. Tu Lan, UNH Department of Geography. Join us to explore time as a language, a measure, loss, abundance, a social context, a scientific principle, a spiritual space, and a cultural expression.

This event is a hybrid in-person and Zoom event. Location: room A218 in the Paul Creative Arts Center. Registration is required to attend the program via Zoom.

Register to attend via Zoom here.

Joins us for all events in this series, Deep Time Lab: The Past on October 27th and Deep Time Lab: The Future, on November 3rd.

Deep Time Lab: The Present compliments the exhibition the Solastalgic Archive and Deep Time Lab on view at the Museum of Art through December 3, 2022.

Under the Madness Hosts Publication Reunion!

JOIN US FOR THIS INSPIRING EVENT

Under the Madness Magazine is hosting an utterly unique publication reunion!

In 2021, Jenzo DuQue’s short story, “The Rest of Us,” was selected for the prestigious Best American Short Stories anthology. Ten years prior, Jenzo was published in Teen Ink. Now on April 10, 2022, Jenzo will meet up with editors from Teen Ink, that nationally known magazine where a decade ago he saw some of his earliest creative writing in print.

After a reading from Jenzo, the author and the editors at Teen Ink will field your questions from the audience.

• So do you have what it takes to push that SUBMIT button? Many people (teens and adults) would like to see their writing published but never take that important step.
• Hear what pressing SUBMIT did for Jenzo Duque. As a teenager, Jenzo sent his work to magazines including Teen Ink. A decade later, his fiction was included in the premier anthology for short stories in the United States!
• What gave him the courage and initiative? How did he handle any doubts and rejection? What were the steps along his path of success as a creative writer? What continues to motivate and inspire him as a writer?

Teen Ink has published over 55,000 teens since 1989 (including editors at Under the Madness). This is a magazine that is 100% about supporting teen writers. Who better to ask for publishing advice than these pros!

Sunday, April 10, 7-8 PM, EST
