Literature yearns to sing to us anew about Existence, about our tumultuous age, our unsettling personal and societal concerns; soothes our aches, celebrates our life in all its manifold complexities, counsels and gives us hope. Wise, Literature: it aims to do so by creating a tranquil psychical space for us in thoughtful books, in which, in solitude, it can engross us in thought about Existence, impart knowledge. I strive to be a conduit for Literature in its noble endeavor.
