MILSPEAK military life anthology signing at Bay Street Trading Company
Bay Street Trading Company will host a book signing with the editor and contributors to MILSPEAK: Warriors, Veterans, Family And Friends Writing The Military Experience on November 28, 2009 from 1:00-4:00 pm.
In June 2005 retired Marine Sally Drumm set out to create a memoir-writing program for military people. MILSPEAK Creative Writing Seminar participants’ work is collected in Milspeak: Warriors, Veterans, Family, And Friends Writing The Military Experience. Each of MILSPEAK’s selections is a carefully crafted reminiscence, a completed piece of a larger personal history, the telling of a particularly eventful moment, a personal, cultural and historical record, and a work of art.
MILSPEAK writers’ stories are often difficult for them to share and some are shared for the first time in this collection. Also included are poetry, essay, and memoir by well-known authors who assisted in developing the workshop and mentoring writers, among them Michael Kobre, Dinty W. Moore, Richard Peabody, and Rebecca McClanahan.
MILSPEAK writers, their friends and mentors come together in MILSPEAK to share their understanding of the power of writing to heal and to broaden civilian understanding of military life.
MILSPEAK: Warriors, Veterans, Family And Friends Writing The Military Experience, paperback, 8.5 x 5.5, 433 pages Publisher: Press 53 Publication Date: July 4, 2009 ISBN: 978-0-9824416-2-6 Price: $25.00. Press 53 books are distributed by Ingram Books and its partners throughout the US and UK.
