In this fall episode of Six Voices, Writing at the Ledges offers six of our writers--Becky Jensen, Cheryl Caesar, Alan Harris, Peter Ruark, Sandra Hudson, and Sarah Zwickle-- expressing their take on 5 different topics. Each reads a poem, short memoir, flash fiction, or other short writing on one topic. The audience hears six views of the same topic and then moves on to another topic. There are five topics and six readers with different ways of looking at the world. Which ones make you think, reflect your ideas, or challenged you to rethink something in a different way?
