The Write to Heal
Artist Soapbox proudly presents six 30-minute episodes, airing weekly commencing June 14, 2023.
In a new, limited six-episode audio series, Tamara Kissane, Artist Soapbox producer and 2020 Piedmont Laureate, with June Guralnick, 2022 Raleigh Medal of Arts recipient and teacher, speak with life-changers – people who champion creative writing as a catalyst for soldiers’ healing, as well as soldiers whose lives have been radically transformed through story.
Research has shown that expressive writing has the power to inspire community connection and provide a path forward to healing for soldiers and their families.
