To be human, at the most profound level, is to encounter honestly the inescapable circumstances that constrain us, yet muster the courage to struggle compassionately for our own unique individualities and for more democratic and free societies.

-- Dr. Cornel West

Media

MEDIA:

In May 2007, the Madison-based publication Isthmus printed a feature story on the HEX-grant sponsored creative writing workshop led by Ray Hsu and Marianne Erhardt that was the seed for what would later become the Writers in Prisons Project.

In the summer of 2010, Verse Wisconsin requested and published Laurel Bastian's essay "Poetry in Prison" describing her experiences in the classroom.

In September 2010, Madison Magazine published a brief feature article on Laurel and the work being done by the Writers in Prisons Project.
