“I don’t think there’s anything that can’t be expressed or imagined. When we lost our daughter, people would say, I can’t imagine or There are no words … I was like, well, I think you can imagine and there are words. Those are magical phrases we use in our culture to block those thoughts. Everybody has to live their lives, but I think it’s the purpose of poetry to stay with that struggle. These poems don’t close. This hole never closes. Poetry is the place of difficulty, doubleness—radiance, beauty, surprise. It stays open and in trouble.”

— BOMB Magazine | Joyelle McSweeney by Gabriela Denise Frank

“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”

— Pema Chödrön
