Healing Memoirs
Whether trying to escape the past with music, as both a prodigy and later a professional, or plunging into despair and self-recrimination at the news of a woman's murder, both memoir authors' bravery and wisdom helped them heal from abuse
Moderated by Christine Koubek.
Marcia Butler
Marcia Butler’s nationally acclaimed memoir, “The Skin Above My Knee,” was one of The Washington Post’s “Top 10 Noteworthy Moments in Classical Music in 2017.” She was chosen as 2017 notable debut author in 35 Over 35. Her work has been published in Literary Hub, PANK Magazine, Psychology Today, Aspen Ideas Magazine, Catapult, Bio-Stories and others. Her flash fiction appears in the anthology, “One Hundred Voices,” from Centum Press. Marcia was a 2015 recipient of a Writer-in-Residence through Aspen Words and the Catto Shaw Foundation. Her forthcoming debut novel, “Pickle’s Progress,” will be released in Spring 2019 from Central Avenue Publishing.
Marcia was a professional oboist for 28 years until her retirement in 2008. During her musical career, she performed as a principal oboist and soloist on the most renowned of New York and international stages, with many high profile musicians – including Andre Watts, and composer/pianist Keith Jarrett. The New York Times hailed her as a “first rate artist.” She lives in New York City and is at work on her second novel.
Andrea Jarrell
Andrea Jarrell’s debut memoir, “I’m the One Who Got Away,” was named one of the Best Books of 2017 by Kirkus Reviews noted for prose “reminiscent of Joyce Carol Oates.” Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and appearing on several 2017 must-read lists, The Today Show called it “one of the most buzzed about books of Fall 2017.” Jarrell’s essays have been published in The New York Times “Modern Love” column, Harper’s Bazaar, Literary Hub, Narrative Magazine, The Washington Post, and many other sites, journals and anthologies.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
