2023 Poets and Scholars Summer Writers Retreat

We are thrilled to announce the third annual Poets and Scholars Summer Writing Retreat, a signature project of the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice (ISGRJ) at Rutgers University. This year, we are expanding the possibilities of our community even further. In this spirit, the Retreat will be hosted completely virtually, bridging gaps of geography, and granting accessibility to those unable to travel.

Like previous years, this workshop will do away with genre distinctions, encourage mutual exchange and transdisciplinarity, and acknowledge the truth that everyone who is engaged in crafting language is concerned with the language of craft. This model is designed to be inclusive, and we hope to bring creators at all stages of artistic development together.
