[Past workshop] Innovation & Empowerment across Literary Genres, Visiting Writer
This workshop brings together an extraordinary faculty on the gorgeous greek island of Kefalonia to explore innovation and empowerment across literary genres. Featuring seminars led by Rita Banerjee, Molly Gaudry, Kristina Marie Darling, Simone Muench, Cutter Streeby, & Elizabeth A.I. Powell, we will discover new strategies for collaboration, hybrid writing, crafting short films and book trailers, as well as celebrating the artistic heritage of the island through lectures on the ode, Greek drama, and other topics as determined by student interest. The workshop will culminate in excursions to Assos, Fiskardo, Myrtos Beach, and many other breathtaking places on the island, where we will write and perform our work.
Several distinguished visiting writers—including Matthew Rohrer, Avia Tadmor, Diana Whitney, and Jose Filipe Alvergue—will join via zoom to share their work and provide writing prompts that will guide our creative practice.
Offered July 2026
