MISSION STATEMENT

SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.

We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...

The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.

Membership is open to all.

SUMMERTIME By Kathy Powers

Summer, a quarter timepiece,
A sticky, sweet section
Of low energy and high temperature.
In Chicago, dog-breath afternoons
With Michigan’s blustery, cooling breezes
Energizes colorful night lie, and,
Intimate conversations and loving embraces.
Summertime, a the time to dodge gang bullets
With an ice cream cone in hand
Chicago, a city of life-guarded beach-scape's.
With children digging water holes
Their adults seeking mating connections..
