Claire Oshetsky
“Even in the most terrible chapters of my life I have always known a certain, savage beauty— in the color of the sky, the sense of birds flying close to my ear, the feel of the soft-loam earth and the joy of running through the untended woods until I became more animal than spirit.”
Claire Oshetsky, Poor Deer

Ava Reid
“When men fall into the sea, they drown. When women meet the water, they transform. It becomes vital to ask: is this a metamorphosis, or a homecoming?”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

Ava Reid
“Some things are constant,' Effy said. 'They must be. I think that's why so many poets write about the sea.'

'Maybe the idea of constancy is what's actually terrifying. Fear of the sea is fear of the eternal- because how can you win against something so enduring. So vast and so deep.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

R.F. Kuang
“Grief suffocated. Grief paralysed. Grief was a cruel, heavy boot pressed so hard against his chest that he could not breathe.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Jess Kidd
“The world can think you’re all wrong if there’s one person who thinks you’re just right.”
Jess Kidd, The Night Ship
