The CWG monthly program on June 10, will feature Mark Anderson’s latest project: Chattown Chatta: Our Homeless. Mark recorded interviews with homeless people selected randomly from the streets of Chattanooga and compiled them into a book and a documentary film. We will watch the film then discuss the project from a writer’s perspective. You may find yourself inspired to create a similar project! Preview the project at www.chattownpress.net
Rear cover text: “Inside of this book you will find interviews with homeless people selected randomly from the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee. This project is dedicated to providing a space for the unsheltered to tell their own stories in their own words, so that the housed may hear, understand, and grow in compassion for the people we view daily on our streets from a distance. Their stories may in some cases confirm our preconceptions, but more often, these stories will disturb our presumptions.”
Mark will also introduce his latest publication, Rescuing Jesus from American Christianity.
Mark has been a member of the Chattanooga Writers’ Guild since 2016 and is currently the Vice President.
