Where did you learn how to love? What happens when love ruptures, grows stale, or dies? If you wrote your best friend’s eulogy today, what would you say? Would you read it aloud to them while they were still alive? An ode to the love stories that rarely get told, “Another Kind of Love Story” asks writers to examine their first memories of love, as well as the various forms of love within our lives. Inspired by Leslie Jamison’s debut memoir Splinters: Another Kind of Love Story, writers will craft metaphors and vignettes about tender moments that taught them love, envisioning a kind of love that liberates and leads us back to ourselves.
