As readers and writers, we are often in a continual process of losing and finding the words we seek. In this experimental review, Emily Woodworth brings this metaphor to life by incisively reenvisioning Lidia Yuknavitch’s lyrical memoir The Chronology of Water(Hawthorne Books, 2011) as a series of classified ads, where the most deeply personal words are publicly sought and sold, lost and found.
Emily Woodworth writes fiction, screenplays and essays. Recent work has appeared in After the Pause, No Contact, Under the Sun, Broad Street and others. In 2018, she received a notable mention in Best American Essays (edited by Hilton Als), and has been nominated twice for a Pushcart Prize. She holds an MFA in writing from CalArts (emphasis Image+Text), where she attended on a Lillian Disney Scholarship.
