The Calgary Institute for the Humanities present a series of talks from the Medical Humanities. In the third and final lecture of the series CIH is proud to present: Sandy Pool, CIH Visiting Fellow “The Ebbinghaus Illusion” What is the effect of cataloging trauma? Can trauma ever be contained in a conventional narrative? In this talk, Pool will give a reading from a new hybrid memoir The Ebbinghaus Illusion, which elegizes the suicide of a friend who suffered from early onset Alzheimer’s. In addition, Pool will discuss the relationship between trauma fiction, hybrid poetic forms and space and place theory. The lectures are free and open to the public. All are welcome. A small reception will follow each lecture. For more information on our upcoming talks, please visit our website.
