'i wept until i aged myself. i watched it happen in the mirror. i watched the lines arrive around my eyes like engraved sunbursts; it was like watching flowers open in time-lapse on a windowsill.' — maggie nelson, bluets
'fog in the mornings, hunger for clarity, coffee and bread with sour plum jam. numbness of soul in placid neighborhoods. lives ticking on as if.' — adrienne rich, what kind of times are these from later poems: selected and new 1971-2012
'be nobody's darling; be an outcast. take the contradictions of your life and wrap around you like a shawl.' ― alice walker, revolutionary petunias
freedom. it isn’t once.... freedom is daily, prose-bound, routine remembering. putting together, inch by inch the starry worlds. from all the lost collections.' ― adrienne rich, a wild patience has taken me this far
'was it possible to live outside language?' ― arundhati roy, the ministry of utmost happiness
'what a long way, i thought, i've come — to be destroyed!' ― james baldwin, giovanni's room
