We’re All Imposters Here: On Writing with Imposter Syndrome
Saturday, March 11, 2023
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm
Our panelists look at each other and see successful, brilliant people, so why don’t we see ourselves that way? Why are feelings of not belonging and not being enough so pervasive for writers? Join the hosts of Poetry Unbound and Wednesday Night Poetry, the editor of Whale Road Review, and the author of Neruda on the Park for a wide-ranging discussion about the origins of imposter syndrome and our strategies for continuing to write and work.
