We're talking with Thomas Q. Morín about his memoir, Let Me Count The Ways. We'll also discuss the craft and business of writing.
Let Me Count the Ways is the memoir of a journey into obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mechanism to survive a childhood filled with pain, violence, and unpredictability. Morín’s compulsions were a way to hold onto his love for his family in uncertain times until OCD became a prison he struggled for decades to escape. Tender, unflinching, and even funny, this vivid portrait of South Texas life challenges our ideas about fatherhood, drug abuse, and mental illness.
Up Next: 2022 National Book Award Finalist Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, author of the book-length poem, Look at This Blue.
Up Next: Poet Vincent Cooper, author of the poetry collection, Zarzamora. This session will be moderated by Christopher “Rooster” Martinez, an educator and spoken word poet from San Antonio, Texas.
