Connections and Community
"Writers need a source of strength other than that which they find in their talent. Literary talent does not exist by itself; it feeds on society and depends for its development on the nature of that society." V.S. Naipaul
...Well said V. S. I would simply add that in fact nothing exists by itself. The relationship between art and culture, artist and society, is a complexity of vision, retrovision, reflection, adoption, adaptation and advancement...and you can quote me on that.
