“As a writer, I've always believed that while my work and I myself are embedded in whatever period I am writing about, clearly I am sensitive to the winds that are blowing in the culture. At the same time, I have always felt that the issue was not to deal with the problem in the abstract, but to deal with the people who are in that problem. The emphasis is on the people. The general problem begins to resolve itself even before the play is finished.” PeopleWritingPlayProblemCultureFeltDealsIssuesWindPeriodsFinishedSensitiveAbstractResolveEmphasisAlways BelieveEmbedded Author:Arthur Miller
“Blood Dazzler is Patricia Smith's impassioned lyric chronicle of a beloved city in peril, a city whose people were left to die before us all, a people who were the heart of our country and lifeblood of our culture. After rising water, winds and abandonment, after our failure and neglect, comes this symphony of utterance from the ruins: many-voiced, poignant, sorrowful and fierce. This is poetry taking the full measure of its task.” PeopleHeartCountryDiesCultureLeftWaterCitiesBloodWindTasksOur CountryRuinsBelovedRisingNeglectFiercePerilAbandonmentSymphonyUtterancePoignantChroniclesSorrowfulImpassioned Author:Carolyn Forche

“Hip-hop as a culture itself goes through stages. It grows - it's breathing, living. I've noticed that we usually start off conscious, then we wind up very highly sexual, and then we thug it out. Then things get a little funny again, with comedy and that kind of thing.” KindLittlesCultureGrowsComedyStageWindConsciousHip HopHipsBreathingHopsThug Author:KRS-One
