PROGRAMMING UPDATE – COVID-19 Adjustments
Our programs continue via an online learning platform!
Connecting LIVE every week during our regularly scheduled class times.
We are so grateful for our fantastic hosts, both centers of community engagement, the 14th Street Y, serving Manhattan’s East Village for many years, and the Morris Park Library, part of our amazing NYC (NYPL) public library system. Both locations are closed for a time, beginning March 14th. Voices From War has already taken steps this past week, and moved our Voices From War programming to a remote (video conferencing) format on March 11th, using the “Zoom” platform.
While we love and miss our in-person community — we also want to report our successful online community gathering and ongoing engagement with our participants, their writing, literary discussion, and shared conversations! Having a way to continue community engagement–though remote for the time being–is all the more important as we all face necessary measures for in-person social isolation. Twice a week Voices From War continues to be socially connected “live” in real time through our virtual classrooms.
We look forward, as always, to seeing and sharing discussion with our regular participants; and we welcome newcomers too.
For new participants!

Writing and Reading War Stories in the 21st Century
In this workshop we write our own narratives, while reading excerpted fiction and non-fiction by veterans, military spouses, and select civilians. Each week, we share student work, learning from each others’ strengths and successes, while also discussing ways we can come closer to the stories we want to tell, whether just for ourselves or for a larger audience. The course is team-taught by two writers, a civilian and a veteran.
“If you succeed [in storytelling], you replace the fragments of memory with something that has its own shape and meaning, a separate thing that has value in itself.”
- Tracy Kidder & Richard Todd
This is a free workshop for veterans.
Prior writing experience not required.
- 2-hour weekly workshop (10 sessions)
- Season 14: Winter-SPRING 2020
- Feb – May 2020
- 14th Street Y, 344 East 14th Street, NY, NY
- Instructors: Siobhan Adcock and Drew Pham
- Director: Kara Krauze
