it just takes one

A while ago I wrote a reported essay for Harper’s about a distinctive partnership between professional artists and adults with intellectual disabilities outside Edinburgh. (Trust me — it’s not the kind you’re thinking of.) I heard from exactly one reader about that piece, but it only takes one. She’s just piloted a replica program in Omaha this year, and they’ve named it Risky Disco, after the piece. My heart sings. It’s the only thing I wanted. And someday I hope to be able to collaborate for something similar. So many projects! Someday.
