closer: a collection of letters from Drus Dryden. I need you so much closer -- Benjamin Gibbard, Transatlanticisism. closer explores the potential of autobiographical writing, in the form of a collection of letters, to facilitate psychic healing. Drawing upon aspects of the writing cure, closer is interested in how writing may slowly allow me to process past traumatic relationships and deepen intimacy in current ones. [Note: the creative portion "closer: a collection of letters from Drus Dryden" is embargoed until 1 July 2014.]
