And bravery. Like James Baldwin’s x-ray vision of truth telling in both his fiction and nonfiction, which has remained vital to this very day; the poetry of Gregory Orr, which served as a healing agent for his tragic childhood; and Fernando Pessoa, for charting and giving voice to all the selves inside him. Just a few examples. NBAs and Pulitzers? Maybe the literary world should give out Purple Hearts instead.

Krissy Eliot quotes Chuck P telling her, "Be yourself, but worse."
"I go ahead."
Right? Such wisdom.
Yes.
Love it!
