BYFA BOOK CLUB: AN ONLINE READING GROUP Anthology Available
Ages 16-29
Fall 2023, Online
This online literature workshop is for student fellows who love to read, and for those who wish they read more. For a few hours each week fellows will pause their scrolling and swiping to dig into a wide array of literary work by a diverse group of authors, including African, American, Asian, European, and Latino writers. They’ll explore poetry, short fiction, and memoir, and participate in lively discussions, sharing their own interpretations and learning from each other’s discoveries. They’ll also respond creatively and critically with written reflections, and with their own poems and stories, inspired by what they’ve read. Portfolios of fellow writing will be shared at a public exhibition and on the program website. Limited to 10 student fellows.
