For over a decade, Segullah has been sharing women’s stories in our journal, blog, and publications. The first two anthologies, The Mother in Me and Dance with Them, focused on narratives of motherhood. Segullah wishes to recognize a broader scope of experience in their third offering. There are so many ways to learn, share and become reshaped through a spectrum of transitions. Contributors crave the catharsis of writing through the change. They write trying to understand the cycles of life and embrace their reshaped selves. Joining the Church or re-examining faith; falling in love or sharing a marriage bed for many years; sending children out on their own or taking estranged parents back into their lives; illness, divorce, and new careers—all of these changes (and more) force us to examine, regroup and adapt.
The event is free and open to the public. City Art is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Zoo, Arts, and Parks, X-mission, and audience donations.
