OVER THE YEARS, one of the kinds of ‘rooms’ for dialogue that I’ve enjoyed using is published essays and articles in magazines and newspapers. I never thought about it until this year (2017), when looking back at all the different kinds of things that I wanted to express, some just found their natural homes in the form of the written word. A few examples.
