Our featured writers and artists are particularly concerned with the big questions, tying art with place and purpose, heaven and hell, and various "intersubjectivities." Of special note is the latest piece on jazz by pianist and composer Jeremy Walker; it's candid and eloquent, and just a wonderful read. In other news: access+ENGAGE will be going on hiatus for a few weeks while I'm on maternity leave, but will be back in early May.
