MARTITA, I REMEMBER YOU by Sandra Cisneros, author of THE HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, is on sale September 7th! This is a long-forgotten letter that sets off a charged encounter with the past that preserves the sparkle of an exceptional year, in a beautiful dual-language edition.

Where do you go to find writing inspiration?

We like gardens. (And bonus points if they include fish!)

Thank you @IdahoBotanicalG and @CityOfBoise for making Boise a beautiful place to write 🍃

@BoiseArtMuseum Thank you @BoiseArtMuseum for all you do in our community! And thanks for being a great arts #nonprofit neighbor, too 😉

P.S. this is making us even more excited to host "I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter" author @ErikaLSanchez during our Readings and Conversations series on October 7th!

[The Cabin @TheCabinLit]

Thank you to @rdbooks and everyone who has donated for making the #ReadFreelyProject happen. Let's keep it going - we all need to read more diverse stories!

You can still donate at https://t.co/DzL6Gjp7cA

[Rediscovered Books @rdbooks]

The #ReadFreelyProject is going strong! When all is said and done, we will have given away over 700 books and started a lot of good conversations in the community.

[The Cabin @TheCabinLit]

Anyone else’s summer moving too quickly?

Today, our summer 2021 writing camps came to a close. We feel so lucky to have been able to write together. And we are so grateful for each camper and family we met.

Until next summer - keep writing!

@BoiArtAndHist @CityOfBoise @boisepublib We love that image - books as vessels for transportation. There's so much to explore!❤️

Where did the time go? We only have one week of camps left!

This summer, we've welcomed 140+ campers in 24 summer writing camps. Our teaching-writers led campers all around Boise, from the Boise Public Library to the Rose Garden and Freak Alley — and back to the Cabin steps.

[The Cabin @TheCabinLit]

We’re loving summer mornings on the lawn and hearing all the stories our campers are writing each Friday during their reading events.☀

And summer's not over yet! We still have space in one Urban Ink camp and in our workshop for high school students.
