Thank you for celebrating memoir like this and giving us such a broad and explorative path that all memoirs can join. It is truly evolving and it’s so refreshing to experience that and to teach with you as we look at new ways of thinking and writing and being in the world with our stories.

Like you, Brooke, I am excited, enthralled, entertained, and enlightened by all the new and fresh and innovative writers who are re-inventing the traditional memoir form. Beth Ann Fennelly's "Heating & Cooling–52 Micro Memoirs" knocked my socks off and Maia Kobabe's "Gender Queer" is one of the most beautiful graphic memoirs I've read. It is, again in 2023 as in 2022, the most banned book in America. And so many others I have loved. Thank you for introducing me to some I didn't know.
