"In lieu of a map, the body is a charter of old wisdom, rich in instinct. Every desire, pulse of longing, all those shapeless dreams that tug you awake at 3 am—these, too, are ancient symbols. You are plume and bone—same as the graylag goose who lifts her head at autumn’s first twinge. How she gives her breast to the wind. Healing, I think, is mostly just the body not abandoning the body. To make good on the promises you once made. To listen to the skin’s spined senses, nosing you in a new direction."

I read this like a spell. Thank you for sharing these innermost memories and experiences with us.

This was such a beautiful, powerful read. I pre-ordered your upcoming books last year. As a poet myself I am soooo excited about the workshop! Already registered!
