I’m a sucker for the healing power you can mine in bleak hopelessness. There’s something that happens in the depressed arts where it can wash over you, resonating in harmony with your own sadness, and soothe it away for a while.

Thought:

“I learn from all work that embraces fracture, error, lack of closure, and a complicated relationship to lyric and narrative.”
