December is a Great Month! Know Why?
LitFriends Newsletter --Because this community cares about the written word and critical thinking.
Dear LitFriends,
This holiday season, I'd like to share why this newsletter and the work of JackWalkerPress.com and AmyLouJenkins.com is so important to me.
My thoughts and opinions have evolved as I've aged (I'm in my 60's). I expect changes, hopefully improvements, will continue as long as I strive to be the best version of myself. These are ideas rooted in Emerson's ideas about individuality and self-reliance. American individuality was never about doing our own thing as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. The ideals of American individuality was always rooted in being free to be our best selves in service to our own lives, community and Nation. When I gave up University teaching, I knew narrative nonfiction and literature would be important to me for the rest of my life. Thinking on the page is important art.
Find out what so great about December in point number 3.
Here's our concise newsletter with three sections to bolster your LitLife.
