Book cover for We Ride Upon Sticks
It was 92° in the shade. If we could’ve rolled over and offered our throats, our pale underbellies flashing in the July sun, we would’ve, each of us a white flag.

Excellent, funny

Nicola Yoon
“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

Andrea Gibson
“EVEN WHEN THE TRUTH ISN’T HOPEFUL, THE TELLING OF IT IS.”
― Andrea Gibson, Take Me With You

Alice Walker
“Perhaps this is simply the way it is with writers. It's when they don't see you that you matter. Because then you can belong to them in a way that permits them complete possession. You are determined by them. You are controlled. You are, generally speaking, exaggerated.”
― Alice Walker, The Temple of My Familiar

“People are always asking me about how to do CRP faster. I’ve learned from Cristóbal to say: “No . . . do it slower, it’s not transactional. It is ceremony. It is human. It is relational.”
― Liz Lerman, Critique Is Creative: The Critical Response Process® in Theory and Action

“When Tyler is like this, his laughs turn silent and it’s replaced by a goose honk.”
― Jennifer Chen, Hangry Hearts
