Bustan: Poetry Incubator

Bustan: Poetry Incubator

About the Program

Bustan fosters connections between writers of different communities in Israel and invites them to grow and develop as poets.

Poets who write in Arabic or in Hebrew are invited to partake in a program that combines time for uninterrupted writing with opportunities for learning, skill building and professional development. The Library's richly diverse collections provide an ideal seedbed for cultivating creative work as well as for nurturing collaboration.
