Daniel Saldaña París
“Time is cyclical, and its only aim is to fuck us all up.”
Daniel Saldaña París, The Dance and the Fire

Daniel Saldaña París
“I can never figure out if he really believes the things he says he believes in, or if he's just killing time, or gets pumped up by fake news the way other people do about sport. He reels off information that not even the most poorly informed of my aunts and uncles would dream of repeating in a co-op group chat, and for Conejo it's all true, with no room for doubt: truth is a state of mind, a lifestyle choice.”
Daniel Saldaña París, The Dance and the Fire

“How telling it was that the word “shaman” in most countries conjures men, but not in Korea, as the kind of traumatizing experiences that define the shaman’s advent are so common for women in this country. Shinbyeong doesn’t make suffering occur, it’s suffering that makes shinbyeong happen. Shinbyeong and shinnaerim, the acceptance of the spirit, may have long provided an exit for many a suffering woman.”
Suhyeon Lee, Alien Gods

“When I reached her room, I didn't go in. I sat on the floor outside her door, and I cried the tears I knew I wouldn't be able to bring forth once she was gone. I cried tears for the poet and through her I cried tears for my mother and for my father. I must have fallen asleep right there in the corridor, for I was woken when the sun took over from the moon, by a nurse arriving to check on Kingfisher. She took me wordlessly to the staff room and made me a cup of coffee with both milk and sugar, and gave me tissues to wipe my face. How many kind strangers there are, for all of us, and how often they know the value of silence and soft hands.”
Rozie Kelly, Kingfisher

“alternative number 2: all the men are sent to new jersey
& the women's army air corps guards all tunnels & bridges/
airport, bus & train stations to make sure that no men invade
the state during rape prevention month. since there are
actually 50 states in the union/ i imagine we cd pair off
& alternate during the year/ so at any time maybe some 25
states wd be free of rape for a month.”
Ntozake Shange, Three Pieces
