Sometimes it works, like in last season’s trip to the spa, where each person Em brought her concerns to had a new light. Em asking the same question over and over again, while realistic - who among us does not ruminate on what we consider to be the big ideas of our lives? - can get sort of stale. Is art meaningless in these violent circumstances? What purpose does someone like Em serve when she’s not doing the obvious: going into combat or sewing bandages? This is a great question to build a season around, and the only real hang-up I have here is that sometimes our fair series can get a little too “theme of the week” with it, and it can get a bit repetitive. If last season’s big question was, “Is fame worth pursuing, or is it a toxin?”, this season, we are asking not just what it means to be a war poet but what good poetry is in wartime.
