Empowerment Through Self-Expression
"A poet's work is to name the unnameable,
to point at frauds, to take sides,
start arguments,
shape the world,
and stop it going to sleep."
-Salman Rushdie
The Voices Project is a non-judgmental venue for people to express their personal stories and observations through poetry to promote social change. We publish the work of writers in the United States and international community no matter what their age or background, who might not otherwise have opportunities to share their stories. The hope is to bring the voices of these individuals forward, providing a creative pathway leading to growth and empowerment, and in turn affecting everything within their lives. Although our main focus is on women's literature, we do publish (and celebrate!) the voices of men, as it's important we are all a part of the conversation and mission.
