“Embodiment (detail),” image by Lisa Naas
… each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
—Mary Oliver
…at times
the blood sings all night long
and nobody sleeps, nobody dares.
—Mercedes Lawry
This is the time when I am all prayers and incantations,
and I’d do anything to break
the fortress of my skin.
—Beverly Lafontaine
