There’s something so harrowingly restorative about the process of sifting through your mental archive and finding the ‘right’ words for a deep well of sadness. Reading it out loud and you know it’s no where near done but it still makes you cry. It’s like pinning a cloud down.

Tom Snarsky 💙 from A LETTER FROM THE MOUNTAIN & OTHER POEMS (Animal Heart Press) @TomSnarsky
‘…I will swim past the shipwrecks, past the sharks with gnashing teeth, past those fish with nasty jutting jaws, with lanterns dangling. I will hold my breath until I am a daughter of Neptune. There are thirteen beers on tap here. I don’t know a goddamn thing about them.’

One way to understand your own condition is to write something and spend a long time revising it. In revising you teach yourself. You find your own information buried in your body. It is still alive until you are not. --Fanny Howe, RIP

Cortázar: “Nothing is ordinary when submitted to a silent and sustained scrutiny.”
