essays … from the French essai, meaning to try, or to attempt*
Ross Gay

We all speak in rhythm. The rhythm of our own language is one of the primary things we learn.**
Kate Clanchy

The essayist, the tryer,
Continually open,
Identifying the natural rhythm for their life –
Being more articulate and poised than balance.
