Richard Flanagan
“What remained was either silence or lies. Such as: the convicts and their children had all fled to the mainland during the gold rushes. Such as: the Tasmanian Aboriginal people were extinct, long gone, not one left on the island. Such as: everyone was descended from free settlers, not a touch of the tar brush or the convict stain on any of us.”
Richard Flanagan, Question 7

Omar   Sakr
“Language, I’m told, is built
to choose sides. What is meant:
the tool we believe connects us
maintains the divide. What I hear:
be careful of silence, what it holds,
how a word can take over your life.”
Omar Sakr, Non-Essential Work

Marie-Helene Bertino
“Anyone questioning whether god exists need only consider the brevity of a dog’s life span. If there was a god, let alone a benevolent one, dogs would have life spans similar to parrots.”
Marie-Helene Bertino, Beautyland

Kaveh Akbar
“It seems very American to expect grief to change something. Like a token you cash in. A formula. Grieve x amount, receive y amount of comfort. Work a day in the grief mines and get paid in tickets to the company store.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Daniel       Mason
“History haunts him who does not honour it.”
Daniel Mason, North Woods
