FSU Scholarly & Creative Showcase Series (on Zoom)
Framingham State University Scholarly & Creative Showcase Series: You Can't Make These Things Up *** Thursday, September 25, 2025 6:30-7:45pm Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/95601585360 *** Join us for an engaging evening of readings and roundtable discussion with biographer Kelly Matthews, memoirist Patricia Horvath, and poet Rachel Trousdale professors in the Framingham State University English Department as they explore the role of imagination in telling true stories. They'll delve into questions such as: How can we extrapolate responsibly from missing information? How far is it appropriate to bend the truth in the service of metaphor or storytelling? What constitutes research when crafting a literary work, and how can that research aid us when memory is hazy? These questions have always been important for creative writers, but in the era of ChatGPT and increasingly contested media sources, they take on a new urgency. Whether you're a writer or reader, this conversation is sure to spark ideas!
