PEN American Center Branches
|
Branches give a vital national presence to
PEN American Center, and provide essential opportunities for members to
directly engage regional, national and international issues of concern
to PEN.
PEN American Center currently has three branches:
PEN New
England (Boston)
PEN West (Berkeley, CA)
PEN
Northwest (Oregon)
Varying in size and scope, each Branch has a
distinct profile and varying programs. Each governs itself in the
spirit of the Charter of International PEN under the supervision of
the Board of PEN American Center and in accordance with its by-laws and
any specific terms and conditions established by the PEN Board. |

News From the Branches: PEN Northwest
|
“What did you write?” is the first question people ask when they hear I holed up in a cabin for the better part of a year. In answering, I always stumble. The words I wrote have mostly faded. What remains is a faith I’ve never had before—faith in the craft of writing itself, and in my ability to find both stories and the voice with which to tell them.  |
