some quotes from this year’s (re)readings (so far) that have made me feel held in some way:
Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison / from: Self Portrait Against Red Wallpaper, Richard Siken / The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood / My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Ottessa Moshfegh
(From my twitter)
parallels—Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Coleridge//Bloodhound, Foxing
—from Things Buried Under the Floorboards [A Working Title], amarys dejai
fragments from 2018 // it doesn’t hurt to talk about you anymore (IG)
