In this episode host Jane Stahl shares details about upcoming events at Studio B during summer 2022 that focus on our experiences that made us who we are. “Be Inspired by WORDS” is the theme for the summer's art exhibit sponsored by a grant from the Boyertown Community Charitable Fund through Berks County Community Foundation. "Transforming Moments: Finding Our Voice" is the title of the studio's 9th book of poetry, prose, and art co-edited by Jane and Mish (Eileen) Murphy in which over 50 writers share moments that changed them.
Jane also announces the mission and schedule in July of conversations of books often banned and the studio's August version of Denmark's brilliant and innovative project to promote understanding and empathy: "The Human Library." Finally, Jane challenges folks to offer construction solutions in our community beyond the "blame game" presented by columnist Star Parker to address the cultural and spiritual crisis of the sense of meaningless and the resulting violence experienced primarily by young men in today's culture--solutions that may actually be inspired by the literature explored during the Summer at the Studio 2022.
