The Workshop Report
Updated: July 12, 1997
Mission:
The Workshop Report (WR) was created in 1995. In that year, four issues were posted to Writers and Crewrt-l discussion lists. During 1996 and part of 1997, WR was inactive.
WR is my personal electronic literary bulletin, a medium for reporting about my literary activities, particularly about writing poetry. It is also meant to be a personal chronicle, a diary and register, an instrument for planning and follow-up of literary projects and ventures.
Although I don't consider my creative processes as something special or very different from those of other writers, I have found that reading about the production process of writers can be interesting, useful, and even instructively entertaining. All this, of course, provided that the reporting and the products discussed are indeed of some quality.
Since I am an Iraqi, Arabic literature and culture and issues, mainly cultural, related to Iraq and the Middle East will have some special presence in the bulletin.
