In May, Saheli’s new Program Coordinator, Mariya Taher, embarked on a journey to Wales for a ten day writing intensive program. As an avid writer, she was given the opportunity to share her experiences in the New Welsh Review, Wales’s foremost prominent literary magazine in English.
“The theme of the writing school, based at the University of Wales’ Trinity Saint David’s Lampeter campus, focused on ‘the spirit of place’, and the programme promised that visitors would be ‘inspired, not only by the beauty of the Welsh countryside, but also by excursions to the sea and mountains, as well as to castles, cromlechs, and cathedrals.’ That promise was fulfilled.”
