Summary

Donna and her guests, John and Riss, share their experience and process of writing in community with survivors of sexual trauma just as they do in the Time To Tell online writing circles.

As founder of Rewrite with Riss, Riss hosts online generative writing circles to build community and create a platform for writers to be published.

John P is a corporate executive who has survived trouble and now teaches yoga in prisons, writes poetry and composes music.
