I have been hesitant to write in light of all that is going on in the world. Since the beginning of 2020 we have seen fires ravage a continent, extinction of species, a pandemic and now, racial injustice. How can writing about art be relevant? Then it hit me that without the works of creative people this life would be unbearable. So I would like to thank all the poets, musicians, composers, film makers, artists, writers and so many more who have touched my life with beauty and made these days a little easier to trudge through.
