DESCRIPTION
DemocraticVistasProfiles: Essays in the Arts and Democracy
DemocraticVistasProfiles is a continuing series of literary profiles featuring artists and arts leaders who live and work at the intersection of the arts and democratic life.
What we set out to do was to find great writers to tell great stories about very interesting people. But what holds the essays together as a set is a sense that their subjects, though infinitely diverse in the details, live and work somewhere out there on that "democratic vista" the hopeful horizon line Walt Whitman spied long ago, comprised of the arts, the swirling diversity of American communities, and the hopeful promise of the good society.
Nonconforming Uses: Architect Teddy Cruz at the Borders of Tomorrow by Rebecca Solnit, issue No. 6 of Democratic Vistas Profiles: Essays in the Arts and Democracy.
