...I think in popular context it's either to create a myth of the veteran as someone who's heroic, above the circumstances, regardless of what tragedy comes their life. And they're almost like iron and nothing phases them. Or the other extreme is veterans are the victims, they have PTSD, they have all sorts of trauma, they need to be isolated and treated accordingly. But the truth is somewhere in between. And that's the interesting part because you do see great profiles in courage."

WARRIOR WRITERS
Erika Renee Land is an Army veteran and War Poet. Before 9/11, Erika joined the Army as a pharmacy technician. Her job was to dispense medications in the emergency department. At work, she experienced pain, sorrow, anger, anxiety, depression and helplessness. After leaving service, she believed the only way out from feeling those emotions was to take her life – until she found poetry."
In honor of Women's History Month and hosted by Sanford Vet Center, the Warrior Writers present Poetry Sound Off on 17 March 2021 from 1800 to 1900 via Zoom. Poetry for healing selections from various anthologies.
Maggs Vibo served in the position of Supply Sergeant for OIF at Al Jaber Air Base where she made supply runs into Kuwait City. Her convoy into Iraq stopped at Tallil Air Base (approximately 20 km from An Nasiriyah). It was at Tallil AB that she burned trash and excrament (not a total metaphor)."

The Veterans Writing Workshop (VWW) was created as an outgrowth of a successful veterans' writing workshop hosted by Fordham-Westchester University in spring of 2010 as part of the National Endowment of the Arts' The Big Read program. Today it has grown to provide free writing workshops for veterans, active duty service members, their families throughout the year in public settings and veterans' facilities throughout the New York Metropolitan area. VWW has received support from the Fordham Veterans Initiative, Arts Westchester, Poets & Writers Reading/Workshops Program, the Hudson Valley Writers Center and other funders."
WARRIOR WRITERS WORKSHOP
To learn more about Warrior Writers Programs, consider following the group on social media: Twitter or Facebook.
These creative workshops offer prompts that cover a variety of military issues and experiences. This encourages sharing stories, opinions, and ideas for productive writing/reflecting/story-telling and art-making. A highlight of these workshops for many veterans is having a space to release bottled-up thoughts and emotions among others who understand, creating a sense of empowerment in the ability to tell their own story. By creating an open and accepting atmosphere, we build a community of support. Workshops are for any service member or veteran regardless of experiences with writing, combat, art, deployment, etc."
