I find an increased interest in the "personal" - both
in the book arts classes I teach related to personal
narrative, as well as an increased interest in my
artwork and those of book artists engaged in
narratives relating to personal experience, especially
since 9/11.  I get contacted for slides to be used in
lectures and workshops that are not necessarily
art-related.  I also find there is a great interest in
books with a more intimate content, especially when
presenting slides and work on contemporary book arts
to college-aged students.

Hope this is helpful.
