What will be covered in this workshop?

An exploration of how to include other languages in your writing in a meaningful and authentic way. How to feel confident using a language that isn't your first, or third, or even fifth; and what multilingual writing can do for you and your poetry or prose. Elizabeth is also offering free feedback on one piece of multilingual writing created during the workshop to each participant.
