Beth ARNOLD

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

--Anais Nin

MY WRITING & MEDIA-MAKING: I report on the culture you need to know--people, politics, places, art, books, media, movies, IDEAS.
