But here's the thing: we can always benefit from a new take on a common issue. That's why some of the most powerful and compelling works of literature, film, poetry, music, and art offer us a fresh riff on that which seems familiar, whether it's love, marriage, sexuality, divorce, birth, illness, or death."
