Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir by Natasha Trethewey

Visu al Memorial Drive

Don something orange a nd join us to discuss Trethewey’s memoir—and to kick-off the Global 16 Days Campaign to bring attention to violence against women and human rights. The campaign starts on November 25 (International Day for th e Elimination of Violence against Women) and runs until December 10 (Human Rights Day9. The color orange symbolizes a brighter future, free of violenc e and serves to unify all the activities during the campaign.

“At age nineteen, Natasha Trethewey had her world turned upside down when her form er stepfather shot and killed her mother. Grieving and still new to adultho od, she confronted the twin pulls of life and death in the aftermath of uni maginable trauma and now explores the way this experience lastingly shaped the artist she became.

With penetrating insight and a searing voice t hat moves from the wrenching to the elegiac, Pulitzer-winning poet Natasha Trethewey explores this profound experience of pain, loss, and grief as an entry point into understanding the tragic course of her mother’s life and t he way her own life has been shaped by a legacy of fierce love and resilien ce.

Moving through her mother’s history in the deeply segregated Sout h and through her own girlhood as a “child of miscegenation” in Mississippi , Trethewey plumbs her sense of dislocation and displacement in the lead-up to the harrowing crime that took place on Memorial Drive in Atlanta in 198 5.” (Harper Collins Publishers)

Natasha Trethewey is a former US poet laureate and the author of five collections of poetry, as well as a b ook of creative nonfiction. In 2007 she won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry fo r her collection Native Guard. Her memoir Memorial Drive< /em> was named One of the Best Books of the Year 2020 by, i.a., The&nbs p;Washington Post, NPR, Esquire, Slate, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and InStyle; a Notable Boo k of 2020 by the New York Times; and one of Obama’s favorite books.

W e hope you will join us to discuss this profound and exquisitely written me moir and commemorate the Global 16 Day Campaign.
