VOICES FROM WAR creates writing workshops for veterans, empowering veterans to craft their stories and propelling veteran stories into sight.
VOICES FROM WAR...
- Offers opportunities for expressing experiences of war through writing workshops for veterans with attention to individual stories, existing literature, and craft…
- Builds community among veterans…
- Builds bridges of experience and expression between veterans and civilians by creating and nurturing wider opportunities for diverse dialogue and events…
VOICES FROM WAR offers craft-focused writing workshops for veterans and related literary programming, broadening opportunities for diverse dialogue, publication, community and events. We value inter-generational participation and veteran-civilian conversation, looking to literature for both commonalities and expressions of difference. Writing provides opportunities for finding greater clarity, through narrative, and deepening understanding. Working on creativity and craft together.
