How do we build bridges between the living and the dead — and what does it take to burn them?No one better to answer than the bridge builders among writers: multilinguals and exophonics, who interweave and translate between languages, homelands, and identities.This Hallowmas, as the veil between the realms of the living and the dead thins, discover how your multilingualism opens up new paths into writing about the people and places we lost (in translation).Come for otherworldly writing prompts — stay for a community of multilinguals and exophonics, as we write into the beginning of winter together.
