Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars by Kai Cheng Thom
""That's the difference between love and hunger," she says. "Hunger is a story you get stuck in. Love's the story that takes you somewhere new."

Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars by Kai Cheng Thom
"An astoundingly good and refreshingly Mad book. Truly, truly outstanding, and unique in its blend of myth and memoir –– creating, in the process, myths anew. Thom's uncompromising support of survival over normative "recovery," her subtle, intense cri" Read more of this review »

Joseph Kidney writes with an exacting shimmer that makes even the more obtuse-to-me aspects of his speakers' poetic subjects glow with life. One of my favourites is “Dove or Kestrel,” an ode to a brother that is also an ekphrastic poem for the art of ...more

A really beautiful and informative book that everyone should read to understand so-called Canada as a colonial nation state built on stolen land. I was especially struck by the ways that histories of colonization in this country are also conquests of ...more

Virginia Woolf
“Death was defiance. Death was an attempt to communicate; people feeling the impossibility of reaching the center which, mystically, evaded them; closeness drew apart; rapture faded, one was alone. There was an embrace in death.”
Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway

Czesław Miłosz
“When a writer is born into a family, the family is finished.”
Czeslaw Milosz

Warsan Shire
“every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed in to
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hall way
a door half open
a single suit case still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
Warsan Shire

Claudia Rankine
“Yes, and the body has a memory. The physical carriage hauls more than its weight. The body is the threshold across which each objectionable call passes into consciousness—all the unintimidated, unblinking, and unflappable resilience does not erase the moments lived through, even as we are eternally stupid or everlastingly optimistic, so ready to be inside, among, a part of the games.”
Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric
