Matt and Mandy sit down with fellow novelist Tracy Higley to discuss writing and the concept of an inner world of Joy. A prolific novelist, Tracy sees art as stemming from an urge to communicate, often an urge that comes from an inner world of joy. Tracy, Many and Matt discuss joy as a longing sparked by beauty that awakens us to more than the everyday, how this situates us in the Great story, and the internal obstacles to creating art.
