Tricia June 7, 2022 Toni Morrison Tricia June 7, 2022 “How bleak, unlivable, insufferable existence becomes when we are deprived of artwork. That the life and work of writers facing peril must be protected is urgent, but along with that urgency we should remind ourselves that their absence, the choking off of a writer’s work, its cruel amputation, is of equal peril to us. The rescue we extend them is a a generosity to ourselves. ” — Toni Morrison
