“On the page,” she says,
“is where a
letter drops to its knees. Catharsis, consciousness, and insight are braided
threads of a
trinity, a broomstick which encourages others to swat convoluted cobwebs in
attics of
their own lives. Writing is a private scream with a universal echo that
emerges from
humble accordions of inner-need. Publication’s mop does messy floors, but
art does act.
It is here we learn what matters most."
