The program themes are “Carnival and Writing,” “Women’s Traditions and Transformations,” and “Poetry and Song.” Each program will feature a different speaker reading literary works relevant to the theme and facilitating dialogue. This series builds on previous “Words Across the Water” series that ran from January – April 2021 and September – November 2021.
