GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT
New Anthology, Arrows of Light, Launch Celebration, Readings and Discussion June 18, 2023 If you have registered for our virtual conference, you are automatically registered for this event. If you would like to attend this event only, please REGISTER HERE! | Join us for a celebration of our latest book published under the IWWG Press Imprint. Arrows of Light features original stories written by Afghan women writers, some still in Afghanistan and many who emigrated after the U.S. exit and the return of Taliban rule. These women's voices are so important right now as they start over in new countries, often having to leave their professional work and other family behind. For those still in country, their words carry even greater importance. The anthology features original photography and also original art loaned to the IWWG for publication by the Peace Pen Art, Peace Gallery Exhibition, where women artists captured their artistic interpretation of what peace might mean. Editor Pamela D. Varkony will lead the discussion and introduce excerpts from the anthology read by contributors. Your support of these women through attending the event and through the purchase of the book expresses the solidarity that is a core value of the IWWG. |
