“Language is the ultimate human tool. Portable, invisible, and it zips around the world at no cost. And poetry is language’s first use and its last. While so many languages are dying right now, people continue chanting its poetry.”

“they dance solo, ecstatically with their shirts off. Everything’s fog and steam and luster now. People and things are no longer clear, separate; the entire world is the artist’s dream.”

“Rather, I heard in the album's title a metaphor of black history in this country. In those days, most people believed that our parents had done nothing but whisper against the continuing oppression of our people, when they spoke at all, and their children were angered, some even shamed, by what they took to be the cowardly silence. Our generation did raise our voices, had been heard round the world; and we'd created a present beyond the imaginings of our parents.”

the air, persevering saws swimming into boards, buckets
taking dents, and the hands on the clock turning — they
aren’t melancholy
Whether or not the future looks back to trigger a longing for
consonance grieving over brevity living is ‘unfinished work to remember to locate something in
times to come”

“As the sea withdrew the destructive forces of weathering and the erosive forces of wind and running water became active. The clays which had accumulated were now dry and were cut away again by these forces. The process was not long continued and the plain was not completed, those clay areas which were capped by protecting sandstones remaining as monadnocks above the wide valley floor.”
