The experience of war has proved to be a wellspring of literary expression, both lachrymose and intently reflective, something that is evident in the works of such masters as Remarque and Hemingway, among others. Keeping that in mind, the National Endowment for the Arts (in coordination with all four branches of the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense) has created this novel literary program that will sponsor writing workshops for returning troops and their families at military installations across the U.S. and abroad. On this site, visitors can learn about upcoming workshop locations for servicepersons and their families, along with listening to audio clips from a CD which features the literature of war, read by 10 American authors, including Tobias Wolff and James Salter. Additionally, visitors can read the guidelines for submitting written pieces to the anthology of wartime writing that will be published in the near future under the auspices of the NEA.
