Big Fat Brown Bitch Quotes

“Her look is all passion
No agony
There is enough of that on the ground, with the mourners-

The slutty one
The motherly one
The contrary one
The queen
The queer
The virgin
All the women looking up, waiting for her resurrection”

grandmother is dead <> and our father is dead <> and our great
uncles and aunties are dead <>”
― Tusiata Avia, Big Fat Brown Bitch

“Hear ye,
"It is the minorities
who need the protection of free speech"
except when it is a poem
twisted into a headline
in an election year”
― Tusiata Avia, Big Fat Brown Bitch
