The Neighborhood Writing Alliance was around to offer workshops to aspiring writers from low-income areas across the city. The organization announced this week they were closing their doors because of lack of funding. Former Executive Director Carrie Spitler and poetry teacher Quraysh Lansana explain how writers benefit from places like NWA and what options remain now that it’s closed. Photo: Flickr/jjpacres
