Rob Arnold received 2018 GAP Award funding to complete a memoir-in-verse exploring the fissures of family and identity, as fragmented and reshaped by the imperfections of memory. GAP Award funding will allow him to dedicate more resources to research and critical time to finish the composition of the book.
