“(I loved her name. I couldn't help it. I would release a worm to write her name in every angular gyrus from here to Thailand. I would convert her name to salts, to textures, to the image of a fern in biosonar. I had never heard a name so beautiful, though it was not a name that suited her - it was far too soft a name for her precise young features - and though I thought it much the lovelier when sharpened by my Leningrader accent.)”
― cameron reed, The Fortunate Fall

“We are a machine made by God to write poetry to glorify his creatures. But we're a bad machine, built on an off day. While we were grinding out a few pathetic verses, we killed the creatures we were writing about; for every person writing poems there were a hundred, a thousand, out blowing away God's creation left right and center.”
― Raphael Carter, The Fortunate Fall

“I can’t help but think back on the feathery flatness of my owl-lover’s embrace, and to compare my two great loves. My owl-lover had a manly lack of mammaries, but otherwise she was all woman. I used to love the way she could flex her feathers separately, moving her feathers across my skin like a thousand soft feather-fingers.”
― Claire Oshetsky, Chouette
