Collection of Bittersweet Odes when Normal is Enigma by Annemarie Berukoff
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable ... Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” Kurt Vonnegut
