To say that Nicole Dennis-Benn is highly accomplished as a writer is an understatement. Her debut novel, Here Comes the Sun, received titles of best book of the year from the New York Times, NPR, Amazon, and Kirkus Reviews, amongst others. Now, Dennis-Benn is also the writer behind the forthcoming novel, Patsy. Dennis-Benn and I recently discussed her writing process for both Patsy and Here Comes the Sun, as well as issues of motherhood, religion and the Church, immigration, and craft.

On a clear, winter night down a few backroads, and through a barely-lit, crater-ridden parking lot, a band called True Blossom rehearsed at a warehouse practice space.

OkCello’s process-oriented work is well deserving of the release event’s turnout. His melodies transcend what many understand cello music to be, from classical musings to rhythmic inflections, that can easily make one stop to grip their c...

2018 is days from being over, thank goodness. With heavy news circulating 24/7, a glint of optimism was necessary when Pantone, the National authority of color, announced that the official color of 2019 is “Living Coral (16–1546)”. The announcement was in no way neutral (color wise). The Pantone Color Institute’s decision brings both positivity and a bit of environmental awareness in the year to come.
