From the trenches encourages readers to write from the places, spaces where we all meet, despite our differences.  Discover  prompts in life and on the page that inspire questions, which evoke truth and answers that further discussion and understanding.  Experience disappointment, joy, a journey through writing, through difference and land where we all aspire to be, a space of being seen, of having bested the fight, of having to fight no more, in or from the trenches.
