“We dug a heart out of a heart and our mutual pain molded us into lovers in the evening fires of autumn.”

— Jovan Kotevski, from Love and Death; The Fourth Letter; Reading the Ashes: An Anthology of the Poetry of Modern Macedonia (ed. by Milne Holton & Graham W. Reid)

"I woke up. The moon is full, so I send my wishes to the universe", 2021

Sung Hwa Kim

"In my culture, we know death intimately. In Arabic, the highest expression of love is the phrase "ya'aburnee" Translated "you bury me" . It means "I love you so much, I'd sooner die than bury you". It was used by mothers in our lineage who were so used to losing their young in war. In my culture, we cannot talk about love without speaking death's name"

-George Abraham, "Untitled," Published In Black Napkin Press

I care for you more than I care for your caring of me. I care for you so much that I will hurt you to see you well, that I will put foulness into your mouth because I know it to be medicine, that I will take your scowls and hatreds and fold them against my heart like a locket full of hair because I will know you to be well.

Amal El-Mohtar, from The Honey Month; “Day 27: Leatherwood Honey”
