"The swallowed scream that lives in your throat..." Wow. Please include me in that howl. Stunning piece. Stunning works by Ms. Martz as well. Don't stop screaming, Ms. Rabin. You are heard.

Excellent, again! The class I just taught included one exercise asking the students to confront an issue they cared deeply about. One retiring obstetrical nurse, angry as hell, did a powerful piece involving coat hangers. Another one used the shreds of her daughters high school graduation invitations opposite a collection of numbers representing those who would never graduate. Art can comfort the afflicted and should afflict the comfortable.

What a powerful and succinct breakdown of art’s ability to speak directly and potently, to us and for us. I’m as blown away by your work as I am by the work you’re highlighting. “Gives voice to the swallowed scream that lives in my throat” indeed. May we move relentlessly forward.
