“We could talk about poetry as a rope in a storm. Poetry as one continuous mantra of mental health. Poetry as the world’s biggest, longest-running workshop on how to love. Poetry as a conversation across time. Poetry as the acid-scrub of cliche. We could say that the poem is a lie detector. That the poem is a way of thinking without losing the feeling. That a poem is a way of feeling without being too overwhelmed by feeling to think straight.”— Jeanette Winterson on the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy for The Guardian (via bostonpoetryslam)
Women hate women. And men hate women. It’s the only thing we all agree on.
Barbie (2023)
