The Fresno City College Art Department will host an event that aims to help recent combat veterans cope with life in the civilian realm.
The event deemed, "Combat Papers" will teach veterans to make paper from various materials. Once created, they will use the paper to write lines of poetry and prose.
The Combat Paper project was born out of the veterans need to be heard as well as to listen, the press release said.
Interacting with other veterans and sharing their experiences is at the heart of what Combat papers does.
This form of expression, coordinators hope, will stimulate emotional healing.
A lecture titled, "Pulp Politics" will take place on March 12 in FH-101 at 12p.m. A Pulp Printing workshop will be held from 9-11:30 a.m. on March 13 in T-101B. The Combat Papers workshop runds from March 14-15. For more information contact Robyn Bates at 442-4600 ext. 8319 or Nick Spohrer ext. 8324
