“It is the metaplay — plots that depict the self-dramatization of conscious characters, a theater whose leading metaphors state that life is a dream and the world a stage — which has occupied the dramatic imagination of the West to the same degree that the Greek dramatic imagination was occupied with tragedy.”— Susan Sontag, “The Death of Tragedy”

poetry is a fundamental food group if you dont read a decent poem once or twice a month you get soul anemic bone tired and all that
Poetry led me by the hand out of madness.
Anne Sexton, quoted in ‘Anne Sexton: A Biography’ by Diane Wood Middlebrook
At Night All Blood Is Black, David Diop
“For all things we want to say there is an inexpressible center.”— John Gallaher, from “The First Chance I Get I’m Out of Here,” Field (no. 83, Fall 2010)

What is a quote? A quote (cognate with quota) is a cut, a section, a slice of someone else’s orange. You suck the slice, toss the rind, skate away. Part of what you enjoy in a documentary technique is the sense of banditry. To loot someone else’s life or sentences and make off with a point of view, which is called “objective” because you can make anything into an object by treating it this way, is exciting and dangerous.
Anne Carson, from Decreation
