The Tug of War by Larry Winters

About this event

Steinberg Reading Room, Elting Memorial Library. Join us in the Steinberg Room on Wednesday, October 7th at 7 PM as local author Larry Winters reads from his new book The Tug of War: A Reckoning with Moral Injury and Telling the Truth. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the program Register to get an email reminder the day before the program. Registration is encouraged and saves your seat. Larry Winters's poetry and narrative nonfiction stand at the crossroads of memoir, moral inquiry, and lived imagination-exploring war, conscience, and our inner life-and can be found at Substack and in community publications and long-form projects. His memoir, The Making and Unmaking of a Marine: One Man's Struggle for Forgiveness, was published in 2007. A Vietnam combat veteran, Winters spent over twenty-five years as a psychotherapist working with veterans and their families. His clinical training and lived experience shape a literary voice attentive to responsibility, forgiveness, and the human spirit. As a founder of the Veteran-Civilian Dialogues, Winters has led presentations, workshops, and international conversations with clinicians and caregivers, emphasizing that civilians are essential to healing moral injury.
