SCAIR Strong Medicine
Pen Center USA in the classroom nurtured a summer of writing from a lifetime of living. Creative force is gifted to the women. They bring forth life to the world. Tonight, December 9, 2011 these writers shared their words and emotions with a selected forum. SCAIR Senior Advisor Randy Edmonds spoke to the oral tradition of the Plains Tribal people and provided the blessing for the writers forum feast. Frank Pancucci SCAIR Project Coordinator was sitting next to Pen USA Michelle Myron. Frank was the Emcee for the evening and he wrote the foreword to Strong Medicine.
Southern California American Indian Resource Center director Wanda Michaelis, SCAIR board president Bill Johnson and TANF manager Lynne Ray Smith along with family and friends listened to their stories. Seven writers read their short stories. These stories are assembled into an anthology of categories: people and places, unforgettable and healing. Twenty-six stories along with a writer’s biography are in the Strong Medicine volume. The volume was organized by Jim Rutland and the cover is by his wife Nuvia Cristol Guerra.
The SCAIR Strong Medicine Writers forum and feast is held in the Barona golf meeting center. We broke bread with the writers, staff and families in a formal dinner setting. Chicken cordon bleu, salad and a chocolate muse cake with berries was on the menu this evening. The lasting seasonings of the evening repast are the shared emotions of the writers. |
