The long look is the one that serves the public best.

We are in this predicament called life together... we have no choice but to come to the help of the fallen.... ALL the fallen.-- June Calwood






To me every writer is a journalist, to write is to tell the truth, to give it the very long and examined look. Fiction provides the longest look. That is the power of the storyteller. Every storyteller is a poet. There is no poet who doesn't have the right to escape the lightning rod, and if we haven't jarred someone then we haven't done our jobs.
