Peaceworks presents a Workshop with Anna De Vaul. Anna has lived and
traveled extensively in Vietnam. At the workshop, she will share her
experiences of living with the Other, understanding conflict and looking at
an event like the Vietnam War from different perspectives. She will use
photographs taken in Vietnam to show what war can do to a beautiful place.
Anna has taught creative writing for a long time in USA and she has worked
with undergraduates, pensioners, and adult writers as well. Her stories,
microfiction, poetry, and articles have appeared in various journals and
anthologies in the USA and abroad. She will talk to the participants about
conflict writing and its conventions. The participants can also bring in
their own understanding of conflict and write about what is closest to their
hearts.

Anna holds an MA in the Teaching and Practice of Creative Writing (with
Distinction) from Cardiff University and is currently doing a PhD in
Creative and Critical Writing at the University of East Anglia.
