On this episode of Articulate Experience—three writers reflect on pivotal moments that had life-altering consequences.
At 18, Darin Strauss was the driver in a fatal traffic accident. Though he wasn’t at fault, guilt defined his work and worldview for years after.
Sarah Ruhl was on her way to see a production of her first play when she was knocked unconscious in a car crash. She emerged without a concussion, but with a clear sense of her destiny.
When her mother was murdered, Natasha Trethewey looked to poetry to help sooth her unhealable wound.
