In this episode of The Art Box, we sit down with Summer Wilson, Mesquite author, playwright, and founder of the Virgin Valley Writers Group, to explore the power of storytelling and the courage it takes to give voice to quiet truths. Summer shares her creative journey across Screen writing, poetry and short stories, and how her passion for community has shaped a welcoming home for local writers to grow, share, and belong. We also discuss her latest collection, Forbidden Whispers, a beautifully woven book of poetry, short stories, and lyrical reflections that invites readers to listen closely, to secrets, to longing, to the quiet strength of the human spirit. Her work is available on Amazon and through other fine booksellers. Whether you're a seasoned writer or just beginning to explore your creative voice, Summer’s insights into craft, confidence, vulnerability, and building artistic community in the desert will leave you inspired to put pen to paper and whisper your own truths into the world.
