Essays & Embodied Voices: an Essay Daily salon with Sonya Huber and Sarah Fawn Montgomery
Essay Daily is proud to present the next entry in our salon series, "Essays & Embodied Voices", a conversation with Sarah Fawn Montgomery and Sonya Huber about voice in essays & how body informs craft. We'd love for you to join us over Zoom on December 16th, 5pm Pacific Time. Leave your email below and we'll send you a link on the day of the salon.

Sarah Fawn Montgomery's latest collection, Halfway from Home was published with Split/Lip Press this November. Essays from this lyric essay collection on nostalgia, climate change, and searching for home during emotional and environmental collapse have appeared in Bellingham Review, Crab Orchard Review, Fourth Genre, New England Review, Southeast Review, Sycamore Review, and Zone 3. Several have been listed as Notable in Best American Essays. Dinty Moore calls this collection “intensely intimate” and Kwame Dawes says it is “a work of urgency, sensibility, and immediacy.” Sarah Fawn is also the author of Quite Mad: An American Pharma Memoir (The Ohio State University Press), as well as three poetry collections. She is currently an Assistant Professor of creative writing at Bridgewater State University

Sonya Huber’s latest book is the nonfiction craft text Voice First, published with the University of Nebraska Press in September. This text weaves together in-depth discussions of various concepts of voice and stories from the author’s writing life, offering a personal view of struggles with voice as influenced and shaped by gender, place of origin, privilege, race, ethnicity, and other factors, reframing and updating the conversation for the twenty-first century. Sonya Huber is also the author of seven other books, including Supremely Tiny Acts: A Memoir of a Day (Ohio State University Press, 2021) and Pain Woman Takes Your Keys and Other Essays from a Nervous System (Nebraska, 2017). She is a professor of English at Fairfield University in Connecticut.
