Event Details
Much has been said about how immigration affects a writer’s creative pursuit and the challenges of immigrant writers. But here, we explore the other side of this phenomenon, which enables the writers beyond borders to draw their roadmap to success
This event will share the creative journey and poetry of four female poets, who have paved their way to success, despite challenges and setbacks in their adopted country. Their journey is inspiring, and their stories must be told to inspire others.
