More details about Gaiman's abuse have come out from his victims. It's nauseating.

People who live by the sea ย understand eternity. They copy the curves of the waves, their hearts beat with the tides, & the saltiness of their blood corresponds with the sea.
They know that the house of flesh is only a sandcastle built on the shore, that skin breaks under the waves like sand under the soles of the first walker on the beach when the tide recedes.
Each of us walks there once, watching the bubbles rise up through the sand like ascending souls, tracing the line of the foam, drawing our index fingers along the horizon pointing home.
โ Erica Jong, from โPeople Who Live,โ Becoming Light: Poems New and Selected (Open Road Media, 2013)

What is poetry to you ?
There's only so much that can be contained within the confines of human flesh and there comes a point when one needs to bleed in order to let it all out. To me, poetry [writing] is a form of bleeding.
