In the News: Emily Holt

USN Art Teacher Emily Holt and her latest gallery, "Lossless Found," were recently featured in The Nashville Scene.
In 2006, American poet Linda Gregg published the essay “The Art of Finding”  in praise of finding poetry rather than crafting it.

“I believe that poetry at its best is found rather than written,” she writes. Gregg defines finding not as happenstance, but as locating what she calls the “resonant sources” that already exist deep inside you. “Your resonant sources will be different from mine and will differ from those around you. They may be your long family life, your political rage, your love and sexuality, your fears and secrets, your ethnic identity — anything. The point is not what they are but that they are yours.”
