Whether you and/or your family immigrated by choice, were exiled or displaced as a result of war, revolution, occupation or political suppression, you left one world behind and crossed a threshold into a new one. You may be living a life with the body in one place and the heart in another. The experience of being between worlds is increasingly common and is the basis for an entire body of literature, representing many world cultures that are adapting, for instance, to life in the U.S., and in other countries.
This workshop will offer inspiration from literature, art and music to usher you into a story that positions the personal against a historical/ political/ societal background—composing in memoir or fiction formats. It is suitable for both new and experienced writers, and is limited to 10 participants.
