Celebrating National Literature Month this April

Among other things, we are potently affected and eventually changed by some films we watch, a theatrical piece, or a painting. That is the power of art in all its different forms. On the other hand, art forms constantly evolve, and they are changed by us, over time, reflecting our thoughts and shaped by the prevailing modes and moods, but they remain universal, the old ones affecting us as much as the new ones. Literature is one of the most powerful arts that change us and the world, and it is constantly transforming. This power of the written word is highlighted in this year’s celebration of National Arts Month in April.
