This is a brilliant idea that will inform and enrich all of us when we need it the most. This excites us in a way that can not be described only experienced. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who died yesterday at age 101, wrote that poetry creates “ecstasy somewhere between speech and song.” Art inspires us in the dimension of the Real. It will lift us beyond the pain of the present.
This would be wonderful. I’m an artist and my husband is a musician. We need to pay our bills, too.
And your work IS CRITICAL. Art is one of the principal ways a people define themselves. We need unifying art more now than I think we ever have.

Thanks for your thoughts, Gene! It's unifying in a way that few other things can be--I think because it is so uniquely human.
A creative idea and a good one!
