Emissaries
Poet Courtney Bush in conversation with Painter Brittany Miller
“I was just the woman seeing the messages in garbage at that point.”
I love the painter Brittany Miller. I love her as a painter. I love her as a person. I love her as a thinker and a reader and a teacher, which is the context in which I met her. In one meeting with my bosses at the Manhattan preschool where we worked, I said that my relationship with my co-teacher Brittany was complicated in that… My bosses finished my sentence, “You are hopelessly in love with one another?” Yes, that was the complication.
