As you know my work, you're likely also aware that I believe the disappeared and the silenced must be given life and a voice via art.

It too disappears."<br /><br />Maybe it's time to "un-disappear" these family figures through language. As adults, we can write about whatever we want. I'm all for taboo-busting! Keep me posted, and hope you enjoyed your summer travels. Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211528951336098923noreply@blogger.com
