“What Inspires You?” is a survey lecture on writing I prepared in August 2010 for an appearance at the Harborfields Public Library in Greenlawn, NY. \u00a0The title was not chosen by me, but the more I read it the more I favored its meaning. \u00a0During the lecture, I encouraged questions from the audience both to nurture their interests and challenge me to make new connections. \u00a0In both these aims, I believe the lecture was successful. \u00a0The following is the audio documentation:<\/p>\n
