Thanks for this. I'm especially interested in what you say here regarding rhetoric; I'm reminded of this piece by Fargo Nissim Tbakhi which articulates some similar issues with "craft" as a colonial apparatus of flattening and de-radicalization. https://proteanmag.com/2023/12/08/notes-on-craft-writing-in-the-hour-of-genocide/
Thank you for bringing this essay into the conversation, Elliott. One of the best, most alive "craft" essays out there. And you're right--"rhetoric" and "craft" share many dark beginnings, many coded ways of reinforcing hierarchy in our written words.
