“just another poem's male / diagnosis dancing the corpses of womenspeaking”
Carrie Lorig, The Book of Repulsive Women: Five Increasing / Rhythms

“how that is the corpse's powerful capability That rupture The deaths of those disappeared and murdered by the State / and the bodies of those still living / but forced into silence, or those who must bear the weight of testimony by the fact of being survivors”
Carrie Lorig, The Book of Repulsive Women: Five Increasing / Rhythms

“I want to say something about bad writing. I'm proud of my bad writing. Everyone is so intelligent lately, and stylish. Fucking great. I am proud of Philip Guston's bad painting, I am proud of Baudelaire's mamma's boy goo goo misery. Sometimes the lurid or shitty means having a heart, which's something you have to try to have. Excellence nowadays is too general and available to be worth prizing: I am interested in people who have to find strange and horrible ways to just get from point a to point b.”
Ariana Reines

“I no longer complain about taking too much cream. I have made so many errors that unless I forgive myself and forget I will be in a helpless purple situation of self recrimination. The scorpio tail comes round to sting.”
Hannah Weiner
