They’ll focus on writing in multiple genres (both write innovative fiction and cultural criticism; Jeffers also is a poet)\, inspiration and research for their work (both write novels with history\, justice\, surreal elements)\, the influence of NBCC and other awards\, Afro-futurism and other evolving forms\, the unique challenges of writing in these times\, and the imaginative process that shapes their work. Since 1974\, the National Book Critics Circle awards have honored the best literature published in English. These are the only awards chosen by the critics themselves. \nSee our event on the AWP website: https://www.awpwriter.org/awp_conference/presenters_view_2023/nbcc \nHonorée Fanonne Jeffers is a fiction writer\, poet\, and essayist.
