Writing is a powerful tool that can help veterans come to terms with their memories. It can also communicate to family and friends those stories that are difficult to verbalize. This workshop is designed to give veterans the tools and confidence to develop and write their own stories. Participants can use notes, drafts, poetry, free-writing exercises, and other methods to generate moving and honest writing. No prior writing experience in necessary.
This event is part of "Kansas Stories of the Vietnam War," a statewide oral history project to commemorates 50 years since the escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The project is a partnership with the Library of Congress.
