Bibliomancy
collects insights and observations about the marvels of the reading and
writing life, words that could aptly describe the reasons Atelier26
exists.
"Inside
culture, the writer is the talking self. Through history, the writing that
lasts is the whisper of conscience, and history regards individual voices in
various ways at various times according to the dictates of fashion, whimsy,
values, politics. ... Reading with sustained attention, reading for
understanding, reading to cut through random meaninglessness — such reading
becomes a subversive act. We’re not talking detective books, romance,
cookbooks, or self-help. We’re talking about the books writers read to feel
themselves among allies, to feed themselves, to reach across time and distance,
to hope." —Jayne Anne Phillips, from "Why She Writes"
