Join Jew­ish Book Coun­cil at the 2023 AWP Con­fer­ence & Book­fair in Seat­tle, Washington!

In a time when ​“Jew­ish” can car­ry so many mean­ings, what do we need in the way of com­mu­ni­ty? What can we share to encour­age and inspire each oth­er? Despite a strong lit­er­ary pres­ence, forums for sup­port among Amer­i­can Jew­ish writ­ers are lim­it­ed. Rep­re­sen­ta­tives of Jew­ish Book Coun­cil (Bec­ca Kan­tor), Yid­dish Book Cen­ter (Madeleine Cohen), Ayin Press (Tom Haviv), Lilith mag­a­zine (Ali­cia Ostrik­er), and Yet­zi­rah, a new orga­ni­za­tion for Jew­ish poets (Jes­si­ca Jacobs), will explore respons­es to the oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges of this moment, with a chance for audi­ence input.
