Launched in 1976 by editor Charles H. Rowell, Callaloo is the premier African-American and African literary journal, publishing a rich mixture of fiction, poetry, plays, critical essays, interviews and visual art from the African diaspora. The annual Callaloo Creative Writing Workshops — hosted this year by Washington University, from Aug. 3 to 16 — are designed to assist new and developing writers by providing intensive and individual instruction in the writing of fiction and poetry.
The Aug. 6 event will feature readings by poets Tracy K. Smith and A. Van Jordan, and by fiction writers Mat Johnson and Nelly Rosario.
In addition to the faculty readings, the Callaloo Creative Writings Workshop will conclude with two nights of student readings, at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Aug. 14 and 15, also in Hurst Lounge.
