Christine Montross – LIVING WRITERS

Christine Montross

Dr. Christine Montross read from her first book “Body of Work:  Meditations on Mortality from the Human Anatomy Lab”
published by The Penguin Press in 2007.

We’ll discuss writing nonfiction and poems–and her transition from Michigan MFA to becoming a first year medical student at Brown. We’ll talk about ways of structuring a book and book design–as well as how her book is a story about our bodies and how someone is changed by working closely with a cadaver.
