Young Haitian writers look to the future

By Jeb Sharp
It was just a few days before the anniversary of the earthquake. I had been invited to attend a meeting of a youth writing group in Port-au-Prince.
American graduate student Laura Wagner helped start the group. She was living in Haiti at the time of the quake.
Like so many others, she was trapped under the rubble and injured. In the aftermath she wanted to do something that felt useful. She teamed up with her friend Marlene Jean-Pierre, a student and community organizer, and the group was born.
“It’s a very open place,” says Laura Wagner. “People know each other; they talk about things without a lot of reservations or fear. One of the rules of the group is that the texts go out, but what happens in the group stays in the group. I think in a lot of ways it’s actually kind of therapeutic. It’s not conceived that way and we’re not professional therapists, but it’s sort of a place to meet and talk about things.”
