This is so good! Flannery, The Prophetic Imagination, Sho Baraka—all my favorite things. Thank you for this beautiful, thoughtful, and relatable essay.
Thanks Mary, I appreciated this and much of it resonated. Unless you mentioned it, and I missed it, where was Donna Matthews writing/speaking in the quotes you gave? Thanks!
I appreciated what you collected here in this essay, Mary. You covered a lot of ground, but I especially appreciated you naming that if art is indeed prophetic, it must also critique itself. And that you spoke against Artist becoming yet another identity-defining commodity. Really helpful ways to put both of those things. Thank you!
It's good to have you back, Mary! Looking forward to the next essay.
Thank you!
