First Cup of Coffee – The Connection Between Fantasy Fiction and Politics 10/17/25

Jeffe Kennedy / October 18, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

“Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” – Pablo Picasso said and then painted Guerica in response to the 1937 bombing of the Basque town of Guernica by Nazi and Fascist forces. “The artist’s role is not to look away.” – Akira Kurosawa, Japanese filmmaker once said and then directed High and Low, a film about the moral dilemmas of a capitalist society and the consequences.
“Art holds up the mirror to nature.” – William Shakespeare, Hamlet (Act 3, Scene 2) a sentiment similar to Aristotle, who once said “Art imitates life.” The duty and role of an artist in society is not always to simply entertain.

First Cup of Coffee – Tuesday October 7, 2025

Jeffe Kennedy / October 7, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

Magic Reborn is a little over 22,000 words! Sharing my thoughts on Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl” and the online criticism and drawing comparisons between this album and my book The Tears of the Rose: both are feminist media. And also, it’s fall.

First Cup of Coffee – Friday, October 3 2025

Jeffe Kennedy / October 4, 2025 / Blog, Podcast

Happy The Life of a Showgirl day!!! Team Jeffe is really Team Swiftie, and all of us are hand-hearting. Do we have any outfit ideas inspired by The Black Dog for the movie premiere on Sunday? In other news, let’s talk about asynchronous order of events in writing and how Octavia Butler uses this plus foreshadowing to craft an excellent story. And also an idea brewing about how I can use such things to satisfy my creative urges.
