A new poem for your screaming, frustrated soul.

[dwellingandthinking]

Hello artists. Writers, illustrators, singers, anyone who creates anything. Your job is really, really important right now and will continue to be instrumental.

I beg you, create. Write about what you're seeing, hearing, and feeling. Paint about your life story and your dreams. Dare to imagine a good world and bring it to life any way you can. Create art that is joyful, that celebrates your unique place in this world and the people you value.

Fascism relies on a killing of joy and hope. We must combat this in any and every way possible. Go draw that funny little stick figure and show it to a friend, give them a giggle to keep going. Do not ever underestimate the power of creation.

Tonight’s livestream was about being together and having support, and it was comforting to be there with a friend drawing and chatting.

I saw someone say art won’t fix things or save us, but I disagree. I think art is everything. And it will always be my way through tough feelings and tougher times.

What's the Point of Drawing Unicorns When the World is On Fire?

We’re coming up on five years since we had to hunker down “for two weeks” and let this novel coronavirus thing burn itself out, remember that?I am not about to start waxing nostalgic about 2020. I didn’t need a global pandemic in which we lost tens of millions of people worldwide to teach me that we need art to survive. That has been in my bones since I could hold a crayon. An article I was…

Euterpe: The Timeless Muse of Music, Poetry, and Freedom

Euterpe, the Muse of Music and Lyric Poetry, stands as a symbol of artistic freedom, her melodies and verses flowing through the air, empowering and liberating. In the ancient world, the Muses were revered as the goddesses who inspired and guided human creativity, and among them, Euterpe stood as the embodiment of music and lyric poetry. Revered for her power to uplift the spirit and fuel…

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back. Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

A Poem for Your Screaming, Frustrated Soul

In which the writer shares a new poem for the times we're all living in.

So, how are you? If you’re one of about half of Americans, like me, you’ve probably been screaming internally since January 20th. Actually, it’s probably more than half of America at this point. I think someone somewhere is screaming about something in every corner of this country right now. In honor of our collective frustration over *gestures at everything*, here is a poem I wrote this past…
