Ada Limon
“I don’t know how to hold this truth,
so I kill it, pin its terrible wings down
in case, later, no one believes me.”
Ada Limon, The Carrying

“You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be.”
Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Elaine Castillo
“Our practice taught me most of all to read like a free, mysterious person who was encountering free, mysterious things; to value the profound privacy and irregularity of my own thinking; to spend time in my head and the heads of others, and to see myself shimmer in many worlds—to let many worlds shimmer, lively, in me.”
Elaine Castillo, How to Read Now

Olivie Blake
“He would come to share her joys until he could no longer separate them from his own, and then one day, maybe turning to her at a party or rushing to ask in a text message, he would say: What's that thing I like? And she would know the answer. She would know everything.
Eventually, all the answers to all that he was would be cradled in the palms of her hands.”
Olivie Blake, Alone With You in the Ether

Melissa Febos
“Writing is, like gender or dominatricing, a kind of performance. But the craft of writing is primarily an art of making decisions. I often like to terrorize my students by insisting that every single notation—every piece of punctuation, every word, every paragraph break—in a piece of writing is a decision. You know when something is done, I tell them (they always want to know how to know when something is done), when you know the argument for every single choice, when not a single apostrophe has slipped by uninterrogated, when every word has been swapped for its synonym and then recovered. I don’t mean to take the fun out of creation, or even to impose my own laborious process on them, but I actually believe this. Not in the first draft, or even the fifth, but by the end, I want to have stripped as many tics and defaults, as many blind choices as is in my power. I want to be awake to all my choices.”
Melissa Febos, Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative
