From Muddy Colors: The Myth of the Muse: "I always caution against citing the Muse as responsible for one’s work less out of a fear of insulting the gossamer spirits of the 5th dimension, and more out of the inherent disempowering that kind of thinking brings. To assign such supremacy to the Muse as an outside visitor divorces the artist from his or her inspiration, and internal ability to change thoughts and invent new ways out. Don’t deny yourself the agency of you being responsible for your work."
From the Global Literature in Libraries Initiative: We are delighted to announce that GLLI will be creating native language book lists for children, teens and adults for those libraries seeking to expand their world languages' collections for their diverse user groups. Thanks to Nicky Harman's support and engagement, we are starting with Chinese titles, and the children's titles are already posted to our library catalogue. Please share this link widely in all relevant library networks. https://www.librarycat.org/lib/GLLI
