March 3, 2007 | AWP Conference | Atlanta, GA

With Larry Siems (PEN American Center), Joanne Leedom-Ackerman (International PEN), and Katusha Galitzine (PEN USA)

Are writers being silenced around the world? Are our First Amendment freedoms at risk here at home? How do current affairs affect the rights of writers to practice their craft? What is the role of self-censorship in a culture of real or imagined threats to freedom of expression?
