Last week, at Margaux Fragoso, NJCU. Writer, we remembered a beloved student, friend, fellow writer. Margaux only published one book, TIGER TIGER, though she wrote much mote. She had so many more books in her. She died at age 38 of ovarian cancer.

What I need to remember today in my writing: "For the drama to deepen, we must see the loneliness of the monster and the cunning of the innocent. Above all, it is the narrator who must complicate in order that the subject be given life." Vivian Gornick, The Situation and the Story

Four months before the Triangle fire, on November 26, 1910, another fire, eerily similar, killed women factory workers in Newark. At this event we remember Newark & Triangle together.

"No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws.” ~ Pat Conroy

In primavera, nel bel mezzo della pandemia, come progetto del corso fece la coreografia del balletto "Dance of the Seamstress," ispirato all'incendio della Triangle e ballò a Washington Square Park.
