Pairing book discussions with mini creativity coaching sessions is a really interesting combination, it turns a book club into something more active and personal. The September pick especially makes sense in that context, what made you choose We Need Your Art specifically as the one to anchor a recommitment to creative work heading into fall?
Hi Meenah, I really love what Amie McNee stands for in the world - our art matters and the process of making it is essential. As fall rolls around, I'm filled with industrious energy. Like a squirrel getting ready for winter, or maybe it's the back-to-school pattern ingrained in me. I wanted to read this as a grounded communal reminder of our creativity in this flurry of energy.
That squirrel analogy is so accurate, there's something about fall that just makes you want to create everything at once. Hope the season treats you well!
Hello, Evelyn! Hello, Joanna! I’m so excited about the picks. It brought such a smile to my face. I’ve been spending the last month reading my way through all of Mary Oliver’s poems. Her poetry fills me with such joy and peace. I’m looking forward to seeing you and being in community on 5/31. Thank you.
Yay! I am so glad to hear the picks made you smile, Evelyn 😊😊😊. I thought Winter Hours would be a good one to slow down with during the holidays. Something to slip into when needed and revive the soul. The Mary Oliver love runs deep over here too. Can't wait to see you this month. You've been missed.
