I write to build a world beyond my wounds.
Hi. Hello. Welcome.
My name is Emily Lang.
I’m a writer, teaching artist, and mother.
With fifteen years of experience creating and facilitating workshops for youth and adult writers, I’ve witnessed the power of putting pen to paper to build a world beyond our wounds. Guided by compassion, my work examines the act of loving and re-imagines a world where healing, after harm, exists. As bell hooks says: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed? Each time I return to the page, I ask myself this.
