Quotes by Renee Ashley  (?)

“I’m drawn to what flutters nebulously at the edges, at the corner of my eye–just outside my certain sight. I want to share in what I am routinely denied, or only suspect exists: I want to move with the poem in the act of becoming or of encountering motion. I long for a glimpse of what is beginning to occur, both in the margins, the periphery of the poem, and in a life.”
