I’m a huge proponent of radical reciprocity, which—for me—hinges on community: being part of one that feels authentic to you and giving freely to it with no transactional expectations. While writing can often be a solitary act, I don’t buy into the lone writer—the pedestaled writer—conceit, especially in this day and age when arts and artists are devalued and delegitimized at almost every turn. I think we depend on one another for solidarity and strength—and to create the noise we need to show the world that what we do and what we create matters.
