FRIDAY NOTES & NEWS: Is Art Relevant These Days?

By Nancy Kay Clark,
CommuterLit editor & publisher

For the past few weeks I have been toiling away putting the finishing touches on a middle grade story, but I’ve had this growing feeling that my innocent kids’ story is increasingly irrelevant in this politically divisive and war-torn world. 

How should we, as writers, artists and creators, respond to what’s happening all around us? Should our work offer a respite and escape from reality? Or reflect reality? Or advocate for change? Or all of the above?

I have no answers — just questions. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!
