Mary Cappello ’82, award-winning author; Metzger-Conway Fellow
Autobiography of Illness/Biography of Cure

An illustrated reading that brings together writing about self in the form of "rituals in transfigured time" and writing about the other in the form of lyric biography.  Cappello will discuss her entry into cancer treatment as a patient-writer and her new book on Chevalier Jackson, a Pennsylvania physician-artist, a pioneering laryngologist, and a foreign body specialist.
