CARLA SEAQUIST

Writer & Playwright

“My work has always been about ultimate things and a wider world, all the more so since the world crashed into America on September 11, 2001.”

In her newest book, Across the Kitchen Table: A Mother and Daughter Turn Tragedy into Peace, writer-playwright Carla Seaquist (1944-2024) tells the personal story of she and her mother repairing their primal bond. Writing “with a moral lens at the intersection of politics, culture, and the American character” her commentary is collected in Can America Save Itself from Decline?: Politics, Culture, Morality, Volumes I, II and III (forthcoming).

Readers may follow her clear, still-relevant thinking at Medium.com – Carla Seaquist.

READER: “I can’t tell you how your writing has sustained me over the years.”

My Archive On:

“Carla Seaquist is an essayist in the great American tradition of plain talk, common sense, strong ethics, and an understanding that one cannot understand current politics, foreign policy or domestic travail without a deep knowledge of history. Her work is informed, readable and provocative, in the best sense—making the reader think in new ways.”
-Seymour M. Hersh, investigative reporter

“Prescient and eloquent. Carla Seaquist is in top form.”Brian Baird, former member of Congress
