Writing About Loneliness in Poetry, Stories, and E

A Creative Workshop by Semeen Ali and Priyanka Sarkar, based on the anthology Writing from the Solitary, the session invites participants to explore how isolation can be transformed into powerful literary expression. The workshop focuses on the nuances of solitude and loneliness as creative catalysts. Participants will engage with various forms of writing to navigate these complex emotions, learning how to articulate the "solitary" experience through prose and verse. This session is particularly unique as it draws from the editors' work on their recent anthology, providing a deep dive into the editorial and creative process of capturing such a universal human condition. Whether you are an established writer or someone looking to express personal reflections for the first time, this session promises to be a safe and inspiring space to connect through words.
