The second volume Jenna Faccenda's literary magazine will focus on amplifying the voices of writers who have experienced abuse, those who feel as though they have been silenced or that their narrative has been taken away from them. Jenna hopes that this upcoming volume and its culminating reading will give survivors the space to express how they feel; show our region that we still have a long way to go when it comes to understanding abuse in our community; and act as a benefit for Laurel House, an organization dedicated to the vision of ending domestic violence.
