City Lights Foundation launches “Days I Moved Through Ordinary Sounds,” a new anthology that showcases writers who have taught youth in the WritersCorps program.
As President Obama calls for the creation of an Artists Corps, the experiences and stories of the writer-teachers in this anthology are more relevant now than ever. “Days I Moved Through Ordinary Sounds” documents 15 years of an amazingly successful experiment: asking accomplished writers to teach creative writing workshops in juvenile detention facilities, homeless shelters, inner-city schools and centers for newly arrived immigrants.
