At the conclusion of the series,
participants will be enriched by a selection of poems that will serve as a
steady and indispensable resource in their journey through healing and will have the opportunity to share their writing in the Sanctuary
of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in downtown Stamford.
Marianela has used creative writing as a means to help people reduce stress, cope
with pain and raise their level of emotional well-being. She hopes to help participants
confront their trauma and give voice to difficult-to-express feelings through various
forms of writing, including poetry and literature. Her own writing has appeared
in her 2011 collection Diosas de la
Yuca/Goddess of the Yuca (Madrid, Ediciones Torremozas), as well as numerous
literary journals and anthologies in the United States and the Dominican Republic. Find out more about her practice and work here and here.
