It feels like an amputation. — Greta Gerwig

It is easy for desire to be caught like a bird in a net, its wings fouled and twisted, no longer free to cross back and forth between silence and word.

Desire must find ways to navigate its bitter and sweet paradox: it moves toward but also always through and beyond every object. — Wendy Farley

Even the best critical writing on Emily Dickinson underestimates her. She is frightening. To come to her directly from Dante, Spenser, Blake, and Baudelaire is to find her sadomasochism obvious and flagrant. Birds, bees, and amputated hands are the dizzy stuff of this poetry.
