The Heretic’s Tale
“If ever a saint could be described as not giving any fucks, it would be her.”
“Woman in the Sun, 1961” & “On Finding a Sculpture of a Woman That Was Made by a Woman To”
I count the walls around me,
floorboards gleaming, bed
unmade, I do not hold
a cigarette and I am not
your wife.
Becoming an Odd Woman
On the train back to Grand Central, the city itself did not feel enough for me. I longed for the presence of another human being—a person I can touch, feel, and shelter with—to save me from the coming isolation of the second wave.
Fight or Flight: On Adrian Piper and the Escape to Freedom
For Piper, race was always a conscious affiliation, not an essentialist identity. […] Throughout all of this, Piper seems to have organically arrived at an understanding of race that aligns with its actual definition—a social construct rather than a biological fact.
Love, the Verb
Everyone thinks they know what love is, but most have no clue. Reading hooks' works on love, you’ll likely discover, for the most part, that nobody loves you. Not your family, not your friends, not your “lover.” You also might discover that you don’t love anyone either.
