You’ll also learn about the structure of our workshops, our membership, yearly events and more. We’ll close the presentation with a Q&A and give everyone plenty of time to mingle, chill, network with other writers & creatives.

This year, Writing Across the Diaspora explores the ways stories preserve, challenge and reimagine our understanding of identity, memory, and belonging across cultures, generations, and geographies. Drawing from a mix of poetry, fiction, memoir, translated literature, and spoken word, we will study the works of many BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ writers such as Joy Harjo, Li-Young Lee, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Mahmoud Darwish, Octavio Paz, Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Elizabeth Acevedo, Jhumpa Lahiri, Major Jackson, Lesley Nneka Arimah, and other distinguished literary voices whose writing traverses Indigenous, African, Caribbean, Latin American/Latinx, Middle Eastern, and Asian diasporic stories. Come learn all about WWA and what it means to be part of our community. Or simply come out to support an incredible community of talented writers. <3
