LitFest in the Dena: Reclaiming Witches and Monstrous Women

  • Mountain View Mausoleum 2300 North Marengo Avenue Altadena, CA, 91001 United States (map)

Witches and monstrous female archetypes can be found everywhere in classic literature from A Thousand and One Nights and Brothers' Grimm Fairytales to Ramayana and the Florentine Codex. In this panel discussion, five women poets and writers re-script female myths, reclaiming archetypes and shifting the lens from vilify and victimize to embrace and celebrate. With: Jamie Asaye Fitzgerald, Olga Garcia Echeverria, Tanya Ko Ho, Alicia Vogl Saenz, Sehba Sarwar
