Jarod K. Anderson
“In the end, you were a part of the sky on loan to a body. A part of the sea that awoke to thought. A part of the Earth who carried a name.”
Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You

Kaveh Akbar
“Living happened until it didn't. There was no choice in it. To say no to a new day would be unthinkable. So each morning you said yes, then stepped into the consequence.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Kaveh Akbar
“The only people who speak in certainties are zealots and tyrants.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

Anne de Marcken
“This sadness is not an empty church and not an empty house. It is the whole empty world and I am in it and it is in me.”
Anne de Marcken, It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over

Kaveh Akbar
“an anthropologist who wrote about how the first artifact of civilization wasn’t a hammer or arrowhead, but a human femur—discovered in Madagascar—that showed signs of having healed from a bad fracture. In the animal world, a broken leg meant you starved, so a healed femur meant that some human had supported another’s long recovery, fed them, cleaned the wound. And thus, the author argued, began civilization. Augured not by an instrument of murder, but by a fracture bound, a bit of food brought back for another.”
Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
