Subject: DISQUIET International Literary Program, Summer 2013

The third annual Dzanc Books DISQUIET International Literary Program in Lisbon Portugal is now accepting applications!

"I can't imagine anyone with an interest in writing or literature going through the DISQUIET program and not being profoundly transformed - by the quality of the teaching, by the magic of Lisbon, and by the way the program is organized, which guarantees intellectual and cultural immersion to an extent unimaginable to the casual tourist. Disquiet is intense, humane, wildly energetic, with its heart in exactly the right place."
--DISQUIET 2012 Guest Writer George Saunders

ABOUT: The DISQUIET program takes place June 30 - July 12, 2013. We bring together Portuguese and North American writers for two weeks in one of the most exciting European capitols. Lisbon, the city of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa and his many heteronyms, has a rich cultural history, a thriving young literary scene, awe-inspiring sights (castles beloved by Lord Byron, centuries-old labyrinthine neighborhoods, world-class beaches, to name a few).

FACULTY & GUESTS: Faculty and guests will include Denise Duhamel, John Frey, Tayari Jones, Lydia Jorge, Adam Levin, valter hugo mãe, José Luís Peixoto, Jacinto Lucas Pires, Robert Olmstead, Gonçalo M. Tavares, Katherine Vaz, Terri Witek, Richard Zenith, and editors from Dzanc Books, Guernica, and the New York Review of Books.

PROGRAMMING: DISQUIET offers workshops in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and a special workshop for North American writers of Luso descent. In addition there are craft talks and readings and literary walks and excursions in the company of the most interesting contemporary North American and Portuguese writers working today.

SCHOLARSHIPS: A full scholarship (airfare, tuition and lodging) is available for the winner of the Dzanc Books / Guernica International Literature Award. This multi-genre contest seeks poetry, fiction, or non-fiction that broadens the landscape of North American literature beyond the boundaries of North America. The winning work will also be published in Guernica, one of the best literary and cultural magazines on the web. Finalists and other select entrants will be offered partial scholarships.

LUSO-AMERICAN WRITERS: Full and partial scholarships are also available through a partnership with the Luso-American Development Foundation for North American writers of Portuguese or Luso descent.

SMALL PRINT: The deadline for contest and scholarships is January 31, 2013. Please feel free to post the attached fliers and to share them with anyone who might be interested.

We look forward to hearing from you!
