Meredith Hall Awarded 3rd Gift of Freedom

Meredith Hall, 3rd Gift of Freedom Recipient

Writing is an entirely selfish act. In order to write, I must remove myself from the world. I must claim a universe of solitude around me like a silent star roaming in unbounded space. I can be in relation to no one.—Meredith Hall, from her Gift of Freedom application

Meredith Hall of Pownal, Maine, is the recipient of the 3rd Gift of Freedom Award for Creative Nonfiction.
