Warrior Writers: Re-Making Sense is a collection of creative writing and art by members of Iraq Veterans Against the War. The 200 page book features over 40 members of IVAW. It contains poetry, prose, letters, photographs and visual artwork. The Warrior Writers Project provides tools and space for community building, healing and redefinition to Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). Through writing/artistic workshops that are based on experiences in the military and Iraq, the veterans unbury their experiences and connect with each other on a personal and artistic level. The writing from the workshops is compiled into books, performances and exhibits that provide a lens into the hearts of people who have a deep and intimate relationship with the Iraq war. Furthermore, it gives the veterans a sense of ownership over their stories and strength in their voice, perspective and power. For more info about the Warrior Writers Project email [email protected].
