In Conversation: On Memorial Drive: A Daughter’s Memoir

Natasha Trethewey‘s Memorial Drive: A Daughter’s Memoir is the gut-wrenching story of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedy. The author is joined by decorated poet, playwright, and essayist Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and author of The Light of the World, a memoir about the loss of her husband.
