Activities and Interests

Maya Sonenberg is currently at work on a book of essays titled, Models for Raising the Dead. Each essay links actual ancestors with literary ancestors, combining memoir, family history, and close readings with visual elements (drawings, manipulated photographs, diagrams) in order to create meaning through association and metaphor and to explore the ways both genetic material and cultural constructs shape us.
