Joanna Ho
“My eyes crinkle into crescent moons
and sparkle like the stars.
Gold flecks dance and twirl
while stories whirl
in their oolong pools,
carrying tales of the past
and hope for the future.”
Joanna Ho, Eyes that Kiss in the Corners

Katherena Vermette
“Cocoon

cocooned in
winter white
I slip beside you
breathe deep

if you listen
you can hear the snow
change
shift slow to spring
poised for melt

cloaked under
white winter
I lie beside you
breathe out

if you listen
you can hear
wet wings unfurl
like petals
ready to be
born”
Katherena Vermette, River Woman

“The man becomes a web
and his shadow becomes a spider.

It’s not that his life passes to the shadow—
but a tipping happens
as in an hourglass,

and there’s suddenly a new order
to the life he never knew was shared.

That night a cricket kills himself in the man.”
Max Ritvo

Yasunari Kawabata
“Time flows in the same way for all human beings; every human being flows through time in a different way.”
Yasunari Kawabata

André Brink
“My library was -- all libraries are -- a place of ultimate refuge, a wild and sacred space where meanings are manageable precisely because they aren't binding; and where illusion is comfortingly real.”
André Brink
