InDigest 1207 was started to further the mission of InDigest Magazine (indigestmag.com): to create a dialogue about the arts, through the arts. By having authors speak to or read from another author who has influenced them--positively or negatively--we hope to show that the process of writing (and reading) is not done in a vacuum, but is an interactive process. Authors have previously brought in e-mails, text messages, song lyrics, paintings, and student writing, as well as poetry and prose by other great authors.
