Lacuna, Antioch University Los Angeles Alumni Mini-Residency, April 2022
Lindsey Anthony-Bacchione & Marybeth Bonfiglio take writers on a well-researched visual exploration of the lacuna – a blank space or a missing part in nonfiction works. How do creative nonfiction writers use fictive devices to unpack truth? How do creative nonfiction writers meander timelines and structures to fill the lacuna, especially when working with the the unreliability of memory? What strategies are memoirists and essayists employing to arrive at an honest story with emotional truth by de-centering the narrative and writing within the missing, liminal space by exploring vast and mycelial timelines to fill their lacuna and craft groundbreaking stories?
