“The act of writing, it seems to me, makes up a shelter, allows space to what would otherwise be hidden, crossed out, mutilated. Sometimes writing can work toward a reparation, making a sheltering space for the mind. Yet it feeds off ruptures, tears in what might otherwise seem a seamless, oppressive fabric.”
― The Shock of Arrival: Reflections on Postcolonial Experience

“In the poem, there is always that present moment which is terribly important through which memory works.”
