“I’m a grown man, Nora. I can buy my own Bigfoot erotica, thank you very much.”

Charlie Lastra i have feelings for you

forget romance i would like a full book of just libby and nora interacting

Picked this up expecting most - if not all - of the poems in it to be centered on grief or loss... I know my expectations are not Atwood’s fault, but I do find going from poems that hit me as hard as “Blizzard” to ones about slug sex or the like disorienting.

“And if there was love once...why should love pass? Can’t it be sustained?...how can love pass? The first married love will pass, true, but then an even better love will come.”

“[M]an, whoever he might be, has always and everywhere liked to act as he wants, and not at all as reason and profit dictate; and one can want even against one’s own profit, and one sometimes even positively must...Man needs only independent wanting, whatever this independence may cost and wherever it may lead.”

I think I found this collection at the perfect time; I just know if I'd tried to read it when it came out it would have ruined my entire life.
