It's exhilarating to be alive in a time of awakening consciousness; it can also be confusing, disorienting, and painful.
From Adrienne Rich
When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
We might possess every technological resource... but if our language is inadequate, our vision remains formless, our thinking and feeling are still running in the old cycles, our process may be 'revolutionary' but not transformative.
The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.
Pride is a tricky, glorious, double-edged feeling.
Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.
Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events.
A revolutionary poem will not tell you who or when to kill, what and when to burn, or even how to theorize. It reminds you... where and when and how you are living and might live, it is a wick of desire.
The mother's battle for her child with sickness, with poverty, with war, with all the forces of exploitation and callousness that cheapen human life needs to become a common human battle, waged in love and in the passion for survival.
I keep coming back to you in my head, but you couldn't know that, and I have no carbons.
