 Daniel Young  (831) 750-7882 \n\n    A reading of selections from 
 “Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace,” a recently published anthology 
 edited by Maxine Hong Kingston will take place on Veterans Day, Saturday 
 November 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Louden Nelson Center. \n\n    National Book 
 ward-winning author Kingston led writing and meditation workshops for 
 veterans and their families for more than a dozen years. The book by Koa 
 Press of Hawaii includes writings by 80 combat veterans, medics and others 
 who served in war, gang members, drug users and victims of domestic 
 violence, and draft resisters, deserters, and peace activists. A community 
 of  writers formed as they worked together to heal the trauma of war 
 through art. Meetings were based on the teachings and spiritual practices 
 of Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hahn to create a protective and 
 nurturing atmosphere in which combat veterans and others were able to 
 access, expose, and heal their painful memories. \n\n    Several local 
 authors whose writings are included in the recently released book, 
 including Doug Zachary of the local Vets for Peace chapter, will read their 
 work at the event sponsored by Veterans for Peace Santa Cruz Chapter and 
 the Resource Center for Nonviolence. The event is free of charge. Books 
 will be available for purchase and signing at the event. \n\n    For more 
 information contact Veterans for Peace Santa Cruz Chapter at (831) 750-7882 
 or the Resource Center for Nonviolence (831) 423-1626. \n
