“I want to be violated by insight.”
Aimee Bender, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt: Stories

“Many kids, it seemed, would find out that their parents were flawed, messed-up people later in life, and I didn't appreciate getting to know it all so strong and early.”
Aimee Bender, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

“I am the drying meadow; you the unspoken apology; he is the fluctuating distance between mother and son; she is the first gesture that creates a quiet that is full enough to make the baby sleep.

My genes, my love, are rubber bands and rope; make yourself a structure you can live inside.

Amen.”
Aimee Bender, Willful Creatures: Stories

Aimee Bender Hello there visitor-- thanks for stopping by.
Just so you know-- I'm not accepting friend requests at this time, just because I'm trying to streamline/limit my internet worlds a bit. But, I can be reached via my website: flammableskirt.com, or through the USC English Dept.

All the best,
Aimee
