In the Writer's Corner workshop salons hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/sylviardotcom">Sylvia R</a>, we gather to discuss and learn from some of the greatest writers and works of literature. 

In this session, the focus will be on Jorge Luis Borges's short story <a href="http://art3idea.psu.edu/metalepsis/texts/death-compass.pdf">"Death and the Compass"</a>.

The workshop will be structured as follows:

Section 1: Discuss

This is an interactive section where we talk about the themes, ideas, and technical qualities of a piece of literature, in this case <a href="http://art3idea.psu.edu/metalepsis/texts/death-compass.pdf">"Death and the Compass"</a>.

Section 2: Write

We’ll spend one hour silently writing together. You’re welcome to work on anything that interests you: short, long fiction, non-fiction, journaling, academic papers, Twitter threads.

Section 3: Exchange Feedback

We’ll read each other's work and exchange concrete suggestions as to how to make a piece more readable, beautiful, powerful, convincing.
