- Viet Nam veteran Rodney Widenhouse is a participant in the Heroes’ Voices workshops at the Veteran’s Administration in Menlo Park, CA. Here’s what he wrote about his experience in our workshops. “The poetry that I read was received with warmth and enthusiasm. I was so welcomed and encouraged it enabled me to overcome my insecurities about reading my poetry. It was such a good experience, a catharsis, a feeling of being accepted. I am grateful for Heroes Voices. They do a great job and put on a great workshop. I plan on going to all the workshops here. The singers were awesome! Thank you so much.” – Rodney Widenhouse
