This is a great essay. I'm going to share it with my grad students. I'm forever trying to explain the NEA Four and the surrounding culture war of that time period to students.

Also, "The goldenrod cheers for neglect amongst the feathers and the bones." What a sentence.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable read, especially the NEA part which is harrowing information but so important.

The drawings are incredible. I love them all.

love the art!

love the storytelling!

love hearing your voice!

technical: the volume on the recording could be louder... I had my volume cranked all the way on my phone so I could listen in the car – podcast style – and it was too quiet.

Yeah… I noticed that too…I recorded it same as I usually do…maybe it’s time to get a mic?!? These small suggestions go far!!
