Please, Cross the Line Creative Writing Workshop

Tuesday, October 14 - Tuesday, November 18, 2025
6:00 PM PT
Online via Zoom

Creation is a path of aesthetic knowledge and, at the same time, of self-knowledge and self-determination. This practical workshop responds to the personal needs of attendees and their search for and development of their own writing. It seeks to provide the fundamental tools of poetic creation and introduce them to classical and contemporary authors. This workshop will be conducted across six Tuesdays.

Manuel Becerra (Mexico City, 1983) studied Creative Writing at the Autonomous University of Mexico City. Becerra has won numerous poetry prizes, most recently the Jaime Sabines International Poetry Award (2024) for his book Estética de los objetos aislados. His poems appear in magazines in Mexico and abroad, and he has read at festivals in Spain, Cuba, Canada, Colombia, China, Japan and the United States. He was a resident at the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa in 2019, at Stockton University in New Jersey in 2019, at Art Omi in New York State in 2018, and at the Residencia Literaria 1863 in Coruña, Spain, in 2025.
