“I('m the woman who) always forgot where she was-in a state, in a sentence.”
Heather McHugh

“So what
are your poems about? They're about
...
how nothing is about, they're not
about about.
--Heather McHugh, 20-200 on 747”
Heather McHugh, Hinge & Sign: Poems, 1968-1993

“The day they brought him forth to die

they feared he might incite the crowd (the man
was famous for his eloquence). And so his captors
placed upon his face
an iron mask
in which he could not speak.

That is how they burned him.
That is how he died,
without a word,
in front of everyone.”
Heather McHugh, Hinge & Sign: Poems, 1968-1993
