Boston Book Festival 2018

Facilitated by Writers Without Margins and located within a prison reentry program, the Wyman Writer's Workshop is a weekly workshop engaging men in post-incarceration and addiction recovery. This session at the Boston Book Festival, hosted by Writers Without Margins cofounder Cheryl Buchanan, will give a public audience the opportunity to experience a WWM workshop firsthand, while providing individuals from Wyman with the opportunity to lead and guide their own workshop. Modeled after the program’s typical format, participants Mathematics Millionaire X, Zachary Paul, and Basem Attia will facilitate by generating discussion around a poem’s relevant themes, metaphors, and message and then pick a topical writing prompt to further explore and inspire the creative writing process with the audience. Come participate in a truly inclusive reading and writing experience and learn more about the inspiring work of Writers Without Margins.
