After a Year of Crying, We’re Not Yet Out of Tears

written by Michael J Seidlinger March 20, 2019

Last year at #AWP18, in lieu of being able to secure an event space for the CCM/Entropy AWP reading, I brainstormed an idea to still have, in some small way, a literary performative space. As with most ideas I come up with, it happened as a mixture of caffeinated insanity and sincere impulsivity. The result was #CryingCorner, which I tweeted about mere minutes after conceiving of the idea.

#AWP18 – I'm filming writers reading up to 5min & posting it on social media. Dubbed "The Crying Corner," part of #TheAccomplices initiative, it's my attempt at including those that can't make it to Tampa this year. *Hit me up if you'd like to take part.*

— Michael J Seidlinger (@mjseidlinger) February 26, 2018

Thankfully people dug the idea. At the conference, I filmed over a dozen writers at and around the bookfair. It was a blast. Fast forward a year later and I continued the series past #AWP18 and through to the spring, summer, and fall seasons in New York City. Well, I’m relaunching #CryingCorner. One year later, 52 writers filmed (53 if you count a very good boy’s cameo appearance for the 53rd edition—see below), it’s time for “Season Two.”

Want to read? Find me at #AWP19 and/or hit me up on social media and let’s make it happen.
