Here are the discussion questions for the second email in the AMV Deep Dive of Marden J. Clark’s essay collection Liberating Form.
If you haven’t signed up for the email, you can read it (and sign up to receive future ones) here: Liberating Form: The Title Essay.
Please note that comments are moderated, and the goal is to make this a place welcome to Mormons of all stripes (as well as folks with an interest in Mormonism).
- Which literary or artistic or craft forms do you find particularly liberating and/or interesting? Are there ones that leave you cold? Which specific works of art do you think are particularly good at investing form with so much energy that the resulting work feels liberating to you?
- What do you think about the use of both personal anecdote and literary analysis in an essay? Are there other examples of essay that successfully combine both that you’d like to recommend? Or not recommend?
- How do you know when a form is or isn’t working for you? Given that this site is about Mormon art, I’m less interested in whether or not the LDS Church (or other Mormon denomination) is true or not, or working or not, or toxic or not, and more interested in practices related to creating and/or consuming art, literature, craft, and anything else you learn from and find beauty in.
