Glitterary 2022
Bear will join a panel at Glitterary 2022 on Writing The Queer Body at 11:30am in the Gertrude C Ford Ballroom of The Inn at Ole Miss!
This panel brings together writers from multiple genres, regions, and identities to reflect on their methods for writing about the one home they can all claim in common: the body. What makes a body queer, and how do queer bodies orient themselves in the many spaces they inhabit? Panelists consider what literature makes possible in bringing queer bodies to life on the page.
