In the Bahamas, Helen Klonaris is partnering with Poinciana Paper Press to run a series of writing workshops targeted at beginners and focusing on the fantastic. In a recent article, Eyewitness News describes the course and Klonaris' work in more detail.
"For me, writing has always been urgent and necessary," said Klonaris, when describing her relationship with writing. "As a young activist, here at home, writing emerged out of me as a deep need to hear myself, and to hear others speaking from the most isolated, the most hurting, the most violated places inside them, and to use words to liberate themselves, ourselves."
The course will run online and in person in Nassau.
