Daily Doses of Art for March 2026
Below is a running list of some of my Daily Doses of Art for March 2026.
This is a lovely daily practice (when I do it!) that helps me review (or anticipate) my day and choose one art encounter to share. I usually have multiple art encounters each day, but it’s simpler to only share one.
March 1: The great quote below is from Toni Morrison’s Beloved is featured in today’s Spiritual Direction for Writers® Daily Nourishment offering, and I read it like three or four times.
“Some things you forget. Other things you never do… Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it's gone, but the place--the picture of it--stays, and not just in my remory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean, even if I don't think if, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is still out there. Right in the place where it happened.”
March 2: The poem “Rain” by Kazim Ali is featured in today’s Spiritual Direction for Writers® Daily Nourishment offering, so I read it because I like it a lot.
March 3: While doing a bunch of laundry and straightening up the house I listened to Waxahatchee.
March 4: Read more of A Mercy by Toni Morrison.
March 5: I read the poem “Jazzonia” by Langston Hughes.
March 6: I looked at a bunch of paintings by Édouard Vuillard online.
March 7: Today’s daily poem from The Paris Review’s daily poem email is “Dog Man” by Lydia Davis, and I read it even though Davis wouldn’t say she’s a poet. She would call “Dog Man” fiction. But it doesn’t really matter. Except it does? Because I’m mentioning the poem vs. fiction thing, and if it didn’t matter I wouldn’t mention it.
