The 2017 edition of Writer To Writer can count on the support of the Fondation Jan Michalski, which funds the event in its entirety. The two authors that have been invited to attend are Canadian novelist Kim Echlin and Syrian poet Rasha Omran.
In Montepulciano Kim and Rasha will work together on the English translation of some of Rasha’s poetry.
They will co-author the introduction to the book in the form of an interview, highlighting not only the poetic and literary aspects of Rasha’s work, but also her political activity in Egypt, and the impact that being an exile has had on her writing.
