"Trust that the creative spirit will find its way. One way or another something will endure."
In this episode I discuss the topic "why read?" with professor, author, and poet B.W. Powe.
We talk about the restorative force of literature, how it helps cultivate our solitude, and that though it may not make us better people, "the world would be a much worse place without it."
We also dive into the idea of "why write?" It is a great risk to become an artist of any kind: is it at all worth it?
