Have you ever felt haunted? Walked into a home and felt something you could not explain? Beloved, by Toni Morrison, is that way--like a home that I'm drawn into, that I want to understand, whose walls speak story, whose wisdom I aspire to, appreciate, and applaud. Everytime I read this work I wonder at the artist's mind. How can Morrison write story that makes us bleed? She haunts us. She unveils wounds. Regret. Reminiscences. She finds the words we hide from and leads us to community. I invite you to come in. Come join me in this haunted house in Ohio on Bluestone Street, you too may find pieces of yourself.
Your turn: what haunts you?
