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.

Already IVAW has composed one book of veterans' writings, "Warrior Writers: Move, Shoot and Communicate." Visit IVAW's website for details about the Warrior Writers Project: www.ivaw.org/projects
