Black queer and trans people create new languages and new ways of being

    I sometimes think artists are born with a built-in extra soul, one that has a natural tendency for the blues. Is it an inborn anointing? Or is it over-confidence, the sheer audacity to flatter myself?

    You never hear painters or musicians complain about how painful it is for them to work, but writers frequently moan about it. That lack of pleasure in the work is often palpable when you read it.

    Traditionally, Western concepts of originality in art are not equipped to consider whether creativity is possible under conditions of continual reproduction; it presupposes an authentic source of spontaneous genius.
