What collection is Franz Wright's "Publication Date" in? Google is not being helpful to me here.

Look, I know the mundane
details of the world are not a poem. Look closer—they are what we have.

Sometimes when I see traditional plot and narrative arc being pushed I think about how John Cheever's "The Swimmer" is one of my favorite stories and one that has haunted me for years

catching up with the news... and yes, it is the guns. it is absolutely the guns. it is a distinctly, horribly american problem. other countries have mental health crises, white supremacy, forms of fascism, and everything else. but they don't have this daily level of gun violence.

Artists tend to be pretty lopsided people. I don’t think there’s anything balanced about us. We have passions and obsessions and predilections. We overreact to the world. ...I don’t think people who are truly balanced need recourse to artistic expression.

I’d rather ExxonMobil build up tolerance to lower profits.
