Ms. Kieves is starting a revolution of inspiration. She asks, “If you’re this successful doing work you don’t love, what could you do with work you do love?” Says Kieves, “We’ve been taught that our love is frivolous and weak. We’ve been taught to deny what we desire. But our desires are our strengths. They’re the portals to meaning, the tickets to a trip you can’t even imagine. I want to see creativity legitimized. I want to know what our world would be like if we worked as hard to write poetry as we do to sue people.”
