Jorge Cárdenas es psicólogo. Nació en Bogotá. Cárdenas piensa que la literatura es una de las terapias a las que podemos acudir una y otra vez en la vida. El acto de escribir es catarsis pura. Y la lectura, es ese espacio de tiempo en el que nos permitimos abandonar el cuerpo que habitamos para encarnar otros más, para viajar, ir de un lugar a otro sin movernos, y ser muchos a la vez.

A SmokeLong Summer 26 is closer than you think. This year we’re starting early and staying late. The summer just got longer.
As always, at the heart of A SmokeLong Summer is our peer-review workshop in small groups of around 15 writers, drafting to 3 writing tasks each week. Our peer-review workshop is all in writing, so you can participate from anywhere, anytime. This summer our writing tasks will be generative and thematically leaning towards community. Our theme this year: “The Global Flash Village”. Writing doesn’t have a be a game of Solitaire; it can be a team sport.
Our participants often say their writing has dramatically increased in community. A SmokeLong Summer 26 will take you around the world, introducing you to writers from every corner of our beautiful planet.
