My essay, “Deconstructing Celia” appears in the just-released May issue of World Literature Today. I wrote about David Hockney (and his 1980 book, Pictures), the search for form and subject during my years as a young art student, and finding my way through a painter's vocabulary. The issue, subtitled Muse: Writers, Artists, and Their Inspiration, features essays, poetry, and interviews, and includes work by an international roster of writers. World Literature Today is the University of Oklahoma's award-winning magazine of international literature and culture, and a digital subscription is affordable! Learn more here.
