I love Will Woolfitt's essays, and I'm always gratified to hear that he's teaching mine in his classes at Lee University. He's taught a number of them over the years, and this semester he's teaching "Another Mary Doyle," inspired by Sonja Livingston's "A Thousand Mary Doyles," which he's also teaching.
Here's the list he sent me, which makes me nostalgic for teaching: F 1.23 — Personal Identity & Names Readings: "Being Brians" – Brian Doyle; "Girl" – Jamaica Kincaid; "Where I’m From" – George Ella Lyon; "The Name of God" – Anya Silver M 1.26 — Family, Memory, & Collective Legacy Readings: Description handout, "’N’em" – Jericho Brown; "The House on Moscow Street" – Marilyn Nelson; "A Thousand Mary Doyles" – Sonja Livingston W 1.28 — Historical, Social, & Cultural Naming Readings: "Narrative: Ali" – Elizabeth Alexander; "Miscegenation" – Natasha Trethewey; "At the Cemetery, Walnut Grove Plantation, South Carolina, 1989" – Lucille Clifton; "Another Mary Doyle" – Jacqueline Doyle I looked up my essay (naturally) and I see that the family portrait is no longer included at the head of the essay., which is too bad. Interesting to see that I use the combination of speculation, fiction, and nonfiction that I also use in THE LUNATICS' BALL. Comments are closed.
