THE ASSOCIATION OF WRITERS AND WRITING PROGRAMS 2010 AWP Annual Conference & Bookfair

PEN American Center Presents: Revisions of Truth. (Jackson Taylor, Marie Ponsot, Phillip Lopate, Sapphire) Often, a work of revision surprises us with discovery and leads us to a deeper, more original vision of a truth than we had originally intended. So, while it is rarely possible to capture absolute truths, the revision process often allows us to home in on important aspects of a truth or, at least, to present a truth as fully and faithfully as we perceive it. This panel considers why truth, elusive and evolving as it is, continues to be worthwhile as a writer’s motive, aim, and endeavor.
