"What I learn from exposure to people in other arts weaves into my work. I pick up nuances and color that enhance a poem, article, or story. It's the rubbing elbows with people who have talents different from yours that helps you grow in your craft."
--Dorothy Winslow Wright, internationally published poet & writer
