Poetry Book Sneak Peek, New Reading, and More
Hello, Reader!
“In the beginning, I didn’t disappear myself on purpose. I sought out solitude, luxuriated in silence. When I couldn’t leave, I learned to slip away inside my head while staying in the room with an enigmatic smile. Classic Mona Lisa.
It was easier not to show myself, not to be seen if being seen meant being taken apart with his careless words. I ran out of room under the rug and began sweeping things into corners and corridors. I needed to take up less space to allow for all the things I couldn’t acknowledge, so I did. I made myself disappear in my own life and then wondered how anyone could contain such silent screaming. An Edvard Munch imitation.”

Some things really are stranger than fiction
"A retelling of 2020 will seem like fiction. There’s no way around this. It’s all too clichéd to begin with a bright and shining optimism, even if it’s true. But those first couple of months felt like hope and possibilities. A whole year was stretching ahead of us, and we thought this year would be magic.
And it was.
If, by magic, we meant a curse.”
