“will you hold my curls when I'm expelling phantoms/ who open tunnels into the past will you consider the sky/ contra the west with its grinding machines will you Spartacus/ with me will you jump in and fight can it be your caravan too/ record my face lover record my limbs record them for/ us all I'm lucky I'm lucky I'm so lucky that I'm lucky”
― Carmen Gimenez Smith, Be Recorder: Poems

“I can tell he lost someone close somehow. You can feel that in people, an openness, or maybe it's an opening that you're talking into. With other people, people who haven't been through something like that, you feel the solid wall. Your words go scattershot off of it.”
― Lily King, Writers & Lovers

“Every world-destroying project disrupts something intimate, tangible, and Indigenous,”
― Louise Erdrich, The Sentence

“I don’t write because I think I have something to say. I write because if I don’t, everything feels even worse.”
― Lily King, Writers & Lovers
