Every day will feature workshops and a panel discussion. Several readings planned at various locations. Workshops cover fiction, creative nonfiction, memoir, essay, travel writing, and poetry. On two afternoons, well hold workshops in nearby temples. One, in the Changu Narayan temple, will be led by Nepalese poet Yuyutsu Sharma. Another will be led by Indian poet/writer Arundhati Subramaniam (temple tba). The temple sessions will be open to everyone.
