McLane Great Hall A: Emily Chaffins & Tamara Hassell
PANEL 4: EDITORIAL HOSPITALITY & FRIENDSHIP
McLane Great Hall B: Brooke Ramsey & Ariane Peveto
Brooke Ramsey will explore two different phases of the writing process: first, the writer as “individual lover” likened to the mystic following the playful unknown as she faces the blank page with only God and memory, and second, the writer as humble friend, discerning and incorporating feedback from other writers in successive drafts. This progression not only galvanizes the piece of fiction into its final form, but deepens the vocation of Christian literary artists as people of devotion. Brooke draws on the three-year experience of writing her first novel and a participatory creative editing exercise before a time of Q & A.
Ariane Peveto will focus on the editorial process and its unique opportunity to show hospitality to both writers receiving feedback and readers encountering their work. For writers, the process can become a space where they are seen, heard, and given the support they need. At its best, the result of this experience is not only well-being but well doing becoming better thinkers and better writers. This is a valuable way editors and writers who give critique can serve their communities. In addition, writers editing their own work can offer hospitality by considering the needs of their audience in order to create inviting and compelling manuscripts.

10:45A - 12:10P PANEL 5: METER, RHYME, & THE FUTURE OF CHRISTIAN POETRY
McLane Great Hall A: Steven Peterson & Joshua Kulseth
Steven Peterson will review how formal poetry has been used by contemporary Christian poets, exploring how form can express our Christian faith He will offer examples--both classic and contemporary--and advice for how to incorporate meter and faith into poetry
Joshua Kulseth will argue that well-crafted Christian poetry tells the truth, but tells it slant Contemporary Christian poetry fails when it allows tropes of devotion to overpower the human struggle lapsing into cliché and a saccharine, too clean a vision of what is in fact a tremendous struggle in one ’ s soul Effective Christian poetry differs from contemporary examples in its ability to place the human and the sacred at the forefront of the reader’s attention, and to approach with honesty and beauty the universal difficulties of our human story in new and original ways

McLane Great Hall B: Ryan Rickrode
Ryan Rickrode draws on Charles Taylor’s nuanced, pluralistic understanding of secularity to chart six alternative approaches to creating “believable” belief: foregrounding, faith historicized, ironic denial, faith-at-a-distance, doubt, and earned innocence. Examples will include Graham Greene and Shusaku Endo.

PANEL 8: FAITH, FORMALISM, & DOUBT IN POETRY
McLane Great Hall B: Emma Galloway Stephens & Connor Watkins-Xu
Emma Galloway Stephens examines the historical connections between faith systems and formalist poetry, showing how those connections manifest in contemporary faith-based poetry She begins with the Psalms, tracing formalism through poetry’s history until it fell from use in the 20th century The New Formalist movement of the 1980s-2000s, led in part by poets of faith such as Dana Gioia and Mark Jarman, revived interest in writing traditional verse Thanks to New Formalist contributions, formal verse continues to experience revival among contemporary poets, such as Christian Wiman, Ashley M Jones, and Jericho Brown
Connor Watkins-Xu draws from exemplary poems of direct addressaddress to God ranging from the classic to contemporary, highlighting the power and possibilities this form gives poets as they lay their praise, lament, questions, doubts, and unfiltered selves before God.
*Workshop space is limited to those who signed up at registration.
DAY 2

Thursday, February 20
2:30P - 3:10P COFFEE, SNACKS, & EXHIBITOR TIME
McLane Great Hall C & D
3:00P - 4:10P PANEL 9: PRACTICES FOR WRITING & PUBLISHING IN THE WORLD
McLane Great Hall A: Elizabeth Hamilton, Jessica Walters, & ARK Watson
The writing life can sound a lot like the aesthetic disciplines taken up by monks and nuns hoping to decenter the ego and turn the heart toward love. From an obsession with language to a love of describing the created world to simply the challenge of telling a story, writers Jessica Walters and Elizabeth Hamilton reflect on the ups and downs of the writing life and offer a vision for the vocation of the Christian writer that doesn’t exclude aspirations, ambitions, or goals but offers practical tips on how to center a writing practice on community and love. This panel will begin with a short conversational-style lecture from each writer, then open for Q&A.
ARK Watkins provides an analysis of writing and worldbuilding strategies used by Christian authors who published in hostile cultures, genres and other pressures. Specific examples include Shusaku Endo, who published in Japan only 50 years after Christianity had been legalized, Gene Wolfe, writing in the “Golden Age of Scifi” when that genre was synonymous with anti-religious rhetoric, Flannery O’Connor, Orson Scott Card, and John C. Wright whose beliefs led to difficulties in their careers.
PANEL 10: RISKING MUCH FOR THE WRITING LIFE: FAITH, SCIENCE, & IRREVERENCE
McLane Great Hall B: Whitney Rio-Ross, Elizabeth Harlan-Ferlo, Megan McDermott, & Liz Charlotte Grant
Three poets define what they mean by irreverent poetry, citing examples from canonical and contemporary Christian poetry that could be deemed irreverent for its tone, topic, or language They then address the kinds of poetry that they write that can come under scrutiny from some Christians They discuss a poem from the other panelists with its inspiration and artistic choices Finally, they discuss what is “at risk” in their specific contexts and why they find the risk something they are called to take, arguing that risking irreverence in some form is part of the Christian writer’s vocation to bear witness and speak truth
Liz Charlotte Grant recognizes that some Christians have placed themselves against science, starting back with Galileo’s discovery of a round Earth for which he was excommunicated from the Catholic Church or the Scopes trial and Ken Ham’s young Earth creationism. But what if there is another way to engage the sciences as a creative person of faith? Grant proposes placing the sciences and art into direct conversation, seeking to find God in the mysteries revealed by science.

PANEL 11: TEACHING, ETHICS, & CREATIVE WRITING
McLane Great Hall A: Matthew Boyleston & Doni Wilson
Matthew Boyleston discusses ethical issues in creative writing, using an ethical debate concerning Toni Morrison’s Beloved that occurred in a graduate creative writing workshop as a case-study to explore literature and ethics. This session will draw on the work of Luke Bretherton and Martin Heidegger. Boyleston argues that an ontological awareness of both the writer as an image-bearing person and the work of literature as an artifact in community help contribute to the role of ethics in naming the brokenness of this world and participating in the restorative, redemptive process of New Creation.
DAY 3
WRITERS’ FESTIVAL
Friday, February 21
Doni Wilson discusses the ways he has incorporated creative writing into a traditional sophomore literature survey Studying major Great Texts authors in Western Culture who practice and/or represent Christianity in their works, students can mimic the forms of these writers This inclusion of creative writing assignments not only increased the interest in reading these authors, but allowed students to discuss and experience the making of Christian art while following the artistic leads of major Christian artists This also allowed non-Christian students to deepen their knowledge of Christian thought and its expression in literary art

FRIENDSHIP & THE GROTESQUE - LITERARY EXEMPLARS
McLane Great Hall A: Kenzi McGregor & Liv Ross
Kenzi McGregor highlights the historical influences of O’Connor’s unique version of the grotesque that meld together bodies afflicted and bodies spiritual into a tapestry of mystery This lecture gives evidence to support a new, virtually untapped influence of the World Wars’ atrocities on her grotesques Subtopics include the Civil War, Southern beauty ideals, disability theory, her cartooning background, the Incarnation, and medieval fabliaux in context of her stories
Liv Ross delves into Tolkien’s portrayal of friendships at the heart of Middle Earth’s salvation, particularly those of the four main Hobbits: Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin. She discusses the friendships that Tolkien built throughout his life that helped him write these fictional relationships with truth. Tolkien’s lived experiences formed his art, which then helped form Ross’ lived experiences.
