3. What I’m Writing

My series on music and art for WXPN’s The Key continues. And in case you missed it: A year ago I published an essay in Image about how, in the wake of my brother’s death, grief caused me to reexamine the faith of my youth in order to make room for Joe’s experience of the world within my own. It is written in the same spirit as the song above. I hope these words may be meaningful to you.

4. What I’m Into

Jordan Kisner’s essay collection Thin Places; the totally charming video reels of Carol Cleveland Sings; songwriting that bolsters my faith in forgiveness.

5. Say hi

I’m beginning a new project on mothers in creative disciplines. Send me a note and share: Who is your favorite mother-artist?


With great love,

Catherine
