Roseanne

“Ginsberg, Clifton, Sedgwick—are”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“I know we’re still here, who knows for how long, ablaze with our care, its ongoing song.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“mother and her entire family line are obsessed with skinniness as an indicator of physical, moral, and economic fitness.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“As her time grew near, your brother took her in. His family situation was under strain, but at least she had a bed there, her own room. It was almost good enough. But really none of it was good enough, even though it was better than many get. When she began to lose consciousness, your brother had her moved to a local hospice; you flew there in the dead of night, desperate to get there in time, so that she wouldn’t die alone.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
