Overlooked. Underestimated. Reconsidered.

“These Favored Things” features music, books, and other cultural artifacts that either haven’t received the attention they deserve, or merited a second look for some reason. In North America’s rush of events, rapid pace of change, and tendency to blindly follow the perceived mainstream of our culture, we’re missing out on a great deal that is valuable. I hope you will be intrigued and seek out authors, artists and musicians I’ve included here. These are just a small part of my discoveries.  — K. Purtell
