Literature and Creative Writing Club
The Literature and Creative Writing Club provides opportunities for students to share
their writing, discuss films and literary works, and attend community events related
to literature and creative writing. The club hosts several events each semester with
the partnership of the Creative Writing Institute, the InVerse Poetry Festival, and the Writing Center.
Our mission is to ignite and cultivate a passion for literature, empower, and embolden creative expression, and learn to harness a variety of literary techniques, therefore fostering a deeper understanding of the world through works encompassing geographical, cultural, and historical diversity. It is our imperative to create a fun, inclusive, and stimulating atmosphere, where JCU students of all majors share their love of literature, and improve their own reading and writing at literary readings, symposia, colloquia, conferences, discussion and conversation that transgress disciplines and reach out to the global community.
The goals and plans of the Literature and Creative Writing Club are:
- Encouraging the student body’s interest in literature and all its divergent forms
- Providing opportunities for cultural enrichment, such as events, readings, workshops and debates
- Stimulating dialogue among different cultures, paying particular attention to comparative literature and translation
- Hosting talks and discussions exploring and comprehending the intersection of the literature, art, and current affairs within the modern global landscape
- Highlighting diverse voices and viewpoints through the scrutiny of creative writing and literature in different languages, aided by translations and interpretations
- Offering linguistic and writing exercises and hosting workshops to help overcome writing challenges in a collaborative environment
- Fostering a reliable and inviting forum for JCU students to showcase their creative and literary genius.
