The Trauma Mantras Quotes

“It’s what we do as humans when we want to connect, we turn to what’s available, we hope it will do the trick, we string tired word stitched to tired word between us, in rituals of rough encapsulation and domestication, and sometimes it has to be enough, this noble kind of reaching, a dogged, clumsy kind of loving, weaving our coarse nets between us, pulling each other ashore.”
― Adrie Kusserow, The Trauma Mantras: A Memoir in Prose Poems
