Workshop No. 3: Judith Cofer’s Exploration of Family Mythologies 🪽🕯️

Join us for the third workshop of our literary programming as we explore the life and writing of Judith Cofer. Together, we’ll read her essay about her grandparents’ contrasting spiritual beliefs and how it impacts her understanding of faith and family values. This workshop is especially meaningful for our fellow Boris 🇵🇷

Each meeting offers writers the chance to engage in literary discussion, a writing activity and peer review. 

Personal works to be workshopped must be inspired by the theme, “Writing Across the Diaspora” and be within 3 pages. Genres of works accepted for peer review include poetry, short fiction, creative nonfiction and essays. No screenplays. Bringing a piece to be workshopped is not required.
