The book conveys memorable stories of soldiers transformed into peace activists\, offering creative responses to seemingly endless wars and threats of war. \nThe evening features poetry readings by veteran poets and activists Jan Barry\, Tara Krause\, Walt Nygard\, James Yee\, and others; music by the Solidarity Singers; and a display of artwork by veterans affiliated with Frontline Arts\, including Barry\, Erickson\, Krause\, Nygard\, and Yee. \nA Teaneck resident and retired Bergen Record reporter\, Jan Barry is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and prose\, including Waging Art: Tackling Grief and Trauma with Creative Arts. A U.S. Army veteran who resigned from West Point to pursue writing and peace activism\, Barry has served as New Jersey coordinator for the Warrior Writers project and as Poet Laureate for Veterans For Peace. His work has been presented at the Dodge Poetry Festival\, the New York Poetry Festival\, and the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York. \n  \nFREE\nRSVP below\, OR call: 201-836-3499 (Must call before Thurs 9/25 at 5PM) \n                          \n          \n        \n        \n          \n            \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n          \n          \n            \n          \n          \n            \n              Date: Sunday\, June 14                               \n            \n            \n              Time: 4:00 PM                            \n                          \n                Location: \n                \n                                                            \n                        20 Puffin Way                      \n                                                                                \n                        Teaneck                      \n                                                                                \n                        New Jersey                      \n                                                                                \n                        07666                      \n                                                                                            \n              \n                                      \n                Cost: Free \n              \n                                                \n              \n	\n		\n			\n				\n	\n	\n\n				\n					Add to calendar				\n				\n	\n\n			\n			\n				\n											\n\n	\n		Google Calendar	\n\n											\n\n	\n		iCalendar	\n\n											\n\n	\n		Outlook 365	\n\n											\n\n	\n		Outlook Live	\n\n											\n\n	\n		Export .ics file	\n\n											\n\n	\n		Export Outlook .ics file	\n\n									\n			\n		\n	\n\n            \n          \n        \n      \n    \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n								\n																			Prepare For Your Visit\nGot your reservations?
