Galway Kinnell
“Isn't it worth missing whatever joy / you might have dreamed, to wake in the night and find / you and your beloved are holding hands in your sleep?”
Galway Kinnell

Alice Walker
“The end
is coming
yesterday
it was
here
too.”
Alice Walker, A Poem Traveled Down My Arm: Poems and Drawings

Charles Simic
“It was only the sea sounding weary
After so many lifetimes
Of pretending to be rushing off somewhere
And never getting anywhere.”
Charles Simic, The Voice At 3:00 A.m.: Selected Late and New Poems – A National Book Award Nominee's Brilliant Imagery and Sardonic Wit

Emma Straub
“Why bother getting married, going through all the pomp and pageantry, if you didn't think it was going to last? It was far easier to live in sin and not have to deal with the paperwork.”
Emma Straub, Modern Lovers

Galway Kinnell
“The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow
of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing”
Galway Kinnell, Three Books: Body Rags; Mortal Acts, Mortal Words; The Past
