Another jewel from author and actor Wendell Pierce, this time from his new book, “The Wind In The Reeds,” about Pierce’s boyhood in New Orleans and his path to the wider world, especially his artistic path:
Together, we look for answers to the same big questions. That’s why we go to the theater. That’s why we go to the art museum. That’s why we go to the club or the concert hall. Seeking that moment of connection or collective catharsis with our fellow human beings –– that is the magic and the mystery that artists conjure. That is why we become artists.
