I’ve been away. Away from writing. Arting. Any type of routine. And in this time away, the world’s troubles have multiplied and become more complex. As has my distress. So, what happens when you’re mad as hell, don’t want to keep quiet, but also long for peace and normalcy? I ask myself this question almost daily, but no answer has bubbled to the surface. Instead, new questions arise.
What do I do while I wait for the answer? Do I spout off, act up, make good trouble?

For the good of all.
If we let her.
But we didn’t.
And a month...

Human happiness, the happiness of writers...questions by which we, in our age, seem enthralled...do not enter these pages.

What is important, what is essential, is that works of genius be created. In that writers' unhappiness interferes with their creation, one should be concerned with the happiness of writers. The important thing is that they must express reality; they must express their genius, not themselves. They must illuminate their own souls, but they must not allow the souls to get in...

Two Days until Election Day

Well, I’m nearing the end of my hillary: i see you  art practice, but it’s okay. It’s time to move on to a less structured practice. It’s also time to get back to submission projects that have become victims of my distraction with the election. I mean, I’m a political junkie and the campaign process has taken over much of the passionate focus I have. Probably because this election represents two distinct sides. One side stands for inclusion and decency and the o...
