Unwritten Conversations: Stories in the Making

Unwritten Conversations: Stories in the Making invites writers, readers, and book lovers to engage in conversation about the art of writing and storytelling. This series aims to delve into the captivating world of story-making, offering a unique opportunity to hear from writers about their creative process. Each session will feature a talk between a writer and a moderator, either in person or virtually, creating a welcoming atmosphere for questions, reflections, and ideas to motivate aspiring writers and students of creative writing or languages and literature in the audience.

The next session will occur on Wednesday, April 30th, at 11 am. It will feature a conversation between Paul Gross (University of Madeira) and the poet J. Carlos Teixeira, the author of the collection of poems titled Que coisa é um alguidar? (Editora Exclamação). As an editor, he collaborated with the platforms A Bacana e Enfermaria 6, with his texts being published in several anthologies in Portugal (Enfermaria 6, TLÖN, Terceira Margem, Subversa, 110 Anos – 110 Poetas), Brazil (Ruído Manifesto) and Mexico (Lluvia oblicua – Poesía portuguesa actual).
