Presenters: Steph Burt, Andre Dubus III, Regie Gibson, Caroline Woods
Moderator: Megan O’Grady


In the wake of a stunning and destabilizing presidential election,
questions abound: How should the literary community of writers and
readers respond? How do authors of fiction and poetry approach their
vocation at this political moment? To what extent can (and should)
activism intersect with art? What role can literature play when faced
with an administration that is at best dismissive and at worst hostile
toward the arts? Four writers—novelist and memoirist Andre Dubus III,
poets Steph Burt and Regie Gibson, and novelist Caroline Woods—will
explore these questions and many others in conversation with Vogue’s
Megan O’Grady. And readers, we have questions for you, too: What books
have you turned to for solace, strength, or escape post-election? What
books would you add to POTUS’s must-read list? Join the conversation
at this timely event, part book club, part support group.
