“I fell in love with the Boston Public Library…”

“I fell in love with the Boston Public Library,” Caitlin Mavilia writes in her zine, Dream Walk. It’s a book about walking, thinking, feeling, remembering, rejoicing. With Elise Guillen and Jessica Waller, Caitlin is co-winner of the 2016 Liberal Arts Department Chalpin Award for Creative Writing.

Professor Eberhardy explains how Caitlin Mavilia came to write this book for her final project in Creative Nonfiction Writing: “When Caitlin wondered what to do for her final project in Creative Nonfiction Writing, I asked, ‘Who do you love to read?’ Caitlin responded: Maira Kalman—especially Kalman’s book,  The Principles of Uncertainty. With her own answer guiding her next steps, Caitlin found a way to integrate her newfound understanding of creative nonfiction in her story about walking and creating.”
