Experimental Writing

Tendai

Description

This project comes from our need to harness voices in Africa and Latin America, giving these voices an opportunity to converse, argue, synthesize, agree, and share ideas on the craft of writing, on life, on being, on thinking, so that we will all benefit. Sixty-two writers and poets are included, of which 19 were purely fiction writers, six were mixed genres writers, one a non-fiction writer, one a playwright, and 35 are poets. Altogether there are 92 pieces in two languages: English and Spanish.
