“…Dana Gioia observes: ‘Art addresses us in the fullness of our being – simultaneously speaking to our intellect, emotions, intuition, imagination, memory and physical senses. They’re some truths about life that can be expressed only as stories or songs or images.’ This is true and well said. The most powerful discourse of truth is not abstract doctrinal propositions but stories and images and art because these engage our whole person, not just our minds.”
