Meta Work Anastasia Wasko

Meta Work exemplifies the power of personal story to evoke catharsis in a healing journey. A cross between memoir, poetry, and narrative fiction, the new subgenre of autofiction is shown here to be an entry into an individual's inner world, allowing one the freedom to explore it without the strictures imposed by the aforementioned genres. Anastasia Wasko shows, by sharing her own journey as a person living in recovery with bipolar disorder, the power of this immersive tool to clarify, magnify, and ultimately transform one's own relationship with their internal challenge(s).
