Quotes by Amy Woolard (?)

“I am trying to know what it means to love anyone / Else the way I meant to love her, the way a sweet tooth / Loves salt. Sugar, I used to know this place like the back / of my hand. Now there’s just the blonde past, — Amy Woolard, from “Neck of the Woods,” Neck of the Woods (Alice James Books, 2020)”
― Amy Woolard, Neck of the Woods

“If all you
Have is scissors, everything looks like

It’s hanging by a thread. Our days, these
Peonies are so brief & bound as fists.”
