i wanted to find

the animal in my body
& skin it. to find

the river in my body
& lie in it. to let

the water render me
like every other silent

glowing stone in the sky.

— Alfredo Aguilar, from “Mount Erie” @TheCollapsar https://t.co/jhr1qCsh70

"What scientists call a meteor shower wasn’t. It was the gown coming off, the sequins scattering, the duke falling completely and happily to his knees."

"When she stood still in the starlight, she felt it. This not-enough-ness."

"It was the opposite of hiding at the bottom of the lake. It was the opposite of being stepped into."

In his new book “There There,” Tommy Orange explores the lives of Native Americans who live in cities, a subject that gets little attention in literature. https://t.co/tJ7BSugPxT
