The Art of KCF

The audio version of the bi-monthly essay that is a part of the Art of KCF newsletter. In these essays I explore the joy of creative inquiry through the form of creative non-fiction. Having been an academic for most of my adult life I use this platform to teach through observation and with humility. When I'm not writing I'm painting but shhhhh don't tell anyone...those are the same thing!
