I love Faulkner and McCullers and Wharton and Morrison. These were my first teachers, my first glimpse at writing. I wanted to emulate them. I wanted to create worlds, and lives full of pain and love and beauty, lives thought taught me something. ​ I have always been a dreamer. As a girl I dreamed of passion, and pure fulfillment—I believed these states could be obtained. As I became an adult, it was art that seemed to bring these feelings more than anything. ​ Books have changed my life, as well as art, film, and music. I believe art is the most powerful tangible force God has given us, besides love manifested. My life is deeper from viewing Caravaggio. From listening to Dvorak, Bach, André Sergovia, The Dave Matthews Band, and Hapa. From watching The Dead Poet’s Society and A Beautiful Life. From reading The Awakening, The Poisonwood Bible, White Oleander, Wuthering Heights, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Of Mice and Men, and recently The Nightingale, and All the Light We Cannot See, and Beautiful. ​ Though I believe I will always seek passion, love and laughter in my life, I also hunger for justice, peace and love in everyone’s life. I think this is how literature ties me to the rest of the world, regardless of race or religion, spanning past, present, and future generations. It’s only in oppressed societies where books are banned and burned. A society that is free to think and feel and be is one where the books of Twain, Hesse, McCullers, and Hurston are treasured, as well as our contemporary greats like Paula McLain, Janet Fitch, Anthony Doer. Blessings.
