This is timely after the chat today (class) and in terms of my piece 'Blood out'. I ruminate on these things a lots. I've always been a card carrying member of the Island of Misfit Toys. ;)

I love it.I feel a kinship to you even further. Keep digging in the dirt and pulling out the rough stuff, the hard for people to see stuff, I really feel that is important work.

"right into the noose of expectation".... OH MY! Yes, this is palpable.

"Some of us fall through cracks into gutters and graves" .. this is a zinger that paints such an image and really pulls one into the essence of the piece.

I am strapped for time but wanted to respond now as the iron is hot after having just read this.
