From host Doug Jones:
In A Little Book on the Human Shadow, Robert Bly writes: “We notice that when sunlight hits the body, the body turns bright, but it throws a shadow, which is dark. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.” I’ve been teaching a class called “Writing the Shadow” for over twenty years, and I see my own shadow in plays and screenplays I have written. If you are interested in your own dark side–and if you believe, as I do, that you can learn from it and use it in your writing–I hope to see you at the next Literary Salon. As Peter Gabriel has said, “The darkness still has work to do.”
