Committing to creativity gives me hope. So I thank my stars that this newsletter arrived at this moment on this day at when the very thing I didn’t know I needed presented itself. Signed up immediately for revision workshop. I’m now a Thing with Feathers.
"Literature as Experience" was the book I think of when O'Connor writes about Fiction as Experience. By Louise Rosenblatt, it is the foundation of my literature teaching, as she writes in the 1930s-40s, another tumultuous time, about young readers having a "lived-through experience".
