Vintage DB 20: Reb Livingston's "Give the Boot to the Muse; Behold the Power of Duende," DB 4

Duende Flamenco fine art Contemporary Modern oil painting of French flamenco dancer Fanny Ara Just when you thought you had seen it all.... Reb Livingston's "Give Boot to the Muse; Behold  the Power of Duende" is the first essay to be featured as part of the Vintage DB series! Crack open the dusty virtual pages of DB 4, Spring 2002, and you'll find that this expository piece is a delicious bit of food for thought. "It is easy to understand how the bull is the matador’s drunken beast—irrational, powerful and elusive. The artist who deals with his page, canvas, voice, clay with the same approach is the artist in search of duende." Reb Livingston is a prolific writer of both verse and prose. She has authored several books including her upcoming novel, Bombyonder, to be released by Bitter Cherry Books this October. Additionally, she curates the awesome Bibliomancy Oracle (bibliomancyoracle.tumblr.com) and is the editor/publisher of No Tell Books. Go check out all the cool stuff she does here: reblivingston.net.
