When people say art can’t save us, I tell them they are wrong. And when we look into the chaos and the unconnected reality around us, art can bring back purpose and meaning to our lives. Art (well done) reminds us of the possibilities and the connections. I read novels and collections of poetry all the time. Does it save me? Sometimes. There is nothing more empowering than seeing that actions have consequences, that love might conquer, or that good can fight evil. But it may be near impossible to find it in real life. And the right book at the right time can actually create a firestorm of creativity in me that produces books, concepts, plots, and a sense of artistry.
