On this Friday afternoon, I’m posting a link to something UNP author Terese Svoboda wrote for The Rumpus.

Some backstory: Earlier this year, Terese and a handful of other writers visited Kenya to talk about writing with Kenyan writers, and with Somalian refugees. This piece tells of her experiences doing so, and of the unimaginable circumstances in which she found young people writing. 

And speaking of The Rumpus, I love The Rumpus. It’s a fun writerly Web site filled with offbeat, interesting stuff relating to books (articles about the prevalence of stripper memoirs, and a call for submissions of photos of literary tattoos, for example.) Terese Svoboda (obviously) has contributed; so has UNP author Kurt Caswell. Good stuff.

And that’s it for this week. Have a great weekend!
