The really important kind of freedom involves attention.

Interested in all manner of things, from cancer to clementines.

A tireless activist, funny and trenchant.

He wrote poems with punch.

What linked her lowbrow mysteries and highbrow scholarship?

His paintings say “Mine! Mine!” and cannot be consoled or reasoned with.

This pedigreed, highbrow dystopian was a godfather of the Sixties.

A wandering, committed poet of crepuscular love.

Before we blamed our madness on nature, we drove each other crazy.

An analyst of excess as well as a practitioner.

How to write like you have nothing left to lose.

The myth of the cave and the form of fantasy.
