"I listened to this audiobook read by the author and felt grossed out. Not because I’m squeamish about blood or bodily functions but because the author was so crass about it." — Feb 24, 2026 11:19AM

“Imagine how much you’ve got compared to all the kids in the world getting blown up or starved, and the good you could do if you spent half a second thinking about it.
Suddenly evil isn’t punching people or even hating them.
Suddenly it’s all the stuff you’ve left undone.
All the kindness you could’ve given.
All the excuses you gave instead.
Imagine that for a minute.
Imagine what it means.”
― Everything Sad Is Untrue

“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble.

I guess I’m saying making something is a hopeful thing to do.
And being hopeful in a world of pain is either brave or crazy.”
