'ART MATTERS' compiles four of Gaiman's most cherished essays on artistic expression and creativity:
First given in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, "CREDO" is his astonishingly succinct and timely statement on free speech.
❖2❖"MAKE GOOD ART," his well-known graduating speech from the Philadelphia University of the Arts in 2012
❖3❖"MAKING A CHAIR" is a poem that celebrates the satisfaction of producing something, even when the words are difficult to come.
"ON LIBRARIES" is a passionate defence of libraries that highlights their value to the future and highlights the way they encourage readers and dreamers.
"ART MATTERS" is a powerful ode to the freedom of ideas that challenges us to choose to be brave and encourages us to create art despite hardship.
