Writer, dog-person, arts for social justice advocate, avid reader, currently unsure of what I think of humans.
Another stunner. Batting two for two this week. Ainadamar at LA Opera. A frightening look at the life and death of Federico Garcia Lorca in Franco’s fascist Spain—which feels all too familiar right now. But you know what? No matter how much dictators try to control it, art talks back.

A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars.

So come to the pond,
Or the river of your
imagination,
Or the harbor of your
longing.
And put your lip to
the world.
And live
Your life.
