“Writing is a way of creating order out of chaos, of taking charge of one's own story, being the sovereign of the self by pushing back against received knowledge & guarding the sanctity of the dwelling place of the imagination...”— poet Natasha Trethewey

“But all my life—so far—
I have loved best
how the flowers rise
and open, how

the pink lungs of their bodies
enter the fire of the world
and stand there shining
and willing...'
—Mary Oliver, from House of Light
