I'm forever grappling with this question posed by Virginia Woolf: "Emotion is our material; but what do we mean by emotion?" This newsletter is a place for me to explore the unrelenting desire to secure and shape the amorphous shards of this life into something that we can put our hands on, feel the cracks of, and hold. Does writing really want anything else besides the ability to suspend time?
