Transatlantic Letters

Craft a series of letters between an Irish immigrant in America and a loved one left behind in Ireland.

These letters should trace the immigrant’s journey – from the initial exhilaration of the new world to the inevitable homesickness; and the loved one’s life – from day-to-day happenings in Ireland to their dreams for a potential future in America. It’s a creative way to understand the historical, emotional landscape of immigration through a deeply personal lens.
