Description: We know writing is transformational for the writer, but for the world, the real world? Cultural data from earliest recorded history shows literary arts transforming social, political, civic, and environmental dimensions of our lives for war and peace and civil and human rights. Even–or especially–writers who see themselves or are seen as marginal, save and redeem our planet and our souls.This message may seem like preaching to the choir, but the power in experiencing oneself as a member of a community, not only of one’s profession and region, but of a global and historic enterprise that changes the world, can be a force of resilience and heroic resolve, a la Churchill, to never, never, never, never, never give up.
