Creative Writing Workshop with Ben Weakley
May 3 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm EDT
No experience required! If you can think, you can write. In this creative writing workshop, we’ll consider writing as a tool for communication, expression, and relief from holding it all together. Join us.
Ben Weakley spent fourteen years in the U.S. Army, beginning with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and finishing at a desk inside the Pentagon. He writes poetry and prose about the enduring nature of war and the human experience for veterans, their families, and anyone who would help them bear witness to war and its aftermath.
His first collection of poetry, HEAT + PRESSURE was published by Middle West Press in 2022. His work appears in Military Times, ONE ART, Sequestrum, Cutleaf Journal, and Wrath-Bearing Tree, among others. He lives in Kingsport, Tennessee with his wife, two teenage children, and a well-meaning, but poorly-behaved hound-dog named Camo. Find him at jbenweakley.com
