“We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” Toni Morrison
“Dispel the notion that reading poetry is going to dramatically change your life. Your life is continually changing; most of the time you’re simply too busy to pay enough attention to it. Poems ask you to pay attention—that’s all.” Chris Abani
