“As I read, however, I applied much personally, to my own feelings and condition. I found myself similar yet at the same time strangely unlike to the beings concerning whom I read and to whose conversation I was a listener. I sympathized with and partly understood them, but I was unformed in mind; I was dependent on none and related to none. “The path of my departure was free,” and there was none to lament my annihilation.

Juliana Spahr, Everybody's Autonomy: Connective Reading and Collective Identity

“Beloveds, our world is small and isolated.”
Juliana Spahr, This Connection of Everyone With Lungs
