December 2, 1912 Letters to Felice by Franz Kafka First published : 1973
An Emerging Class of Economically Liberated Women and the Cultural Shift Nobody Prepared Men For
In the asylum, work was stripped of any production value; it was only imposed as a moral rule. It was a limitation of liberty, submission to order, an engagement to responsibility, of which the only goal was the tethering of a spirit that roamed too freely in the excess of a liberty which physical constraints only limited in appearance.
Michel Foucault, History of Madness.

I THINK LOVE IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE by Michael Gray Bulla
How tragic.
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden
december reading, or: the body speaking back
december’s through-line is appetite—who gets to want, how wanting marks the body, and what happens when language has to carry desire, grief, hunger, and touch all at once. these books are (as I am) obsessed with bodies: breathing ones—starved, flooded, grieving, electric.
they ask the same question from different angles: what does it cost to be alive in a body that wants something it’s not supposed to want?
Bright Dead Things — Ada Limón
a book about grief that refuses to be quiet—poetry that moves through loss, love, sex, illness, and survival with a voice that is conversational but exacting. How To Triumph Like A Girl continues to be one of my favorites.
"Don't you want to believe it? Don't you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it's going to come in first."
Plainwater — Anne Carson
not really a book: long-form essay into poetry. fragmented, demanding, deliberately unfinished—very Carson.
“Desire as round as peaches bloom in me all night, I no longer gather what falls.”
Indigo — Ellen Bass
Bass writes about lesbian sexuality, trauma, aging, tenderness, and survival with clarity and compassion. a poet and psychotherapist by training, she models how to write about sex and pain without spectacle. Getting into Bed on a December Night:
"When I slip beneath the quilt and fold into her warmth, I think we are like the pages of a love letter written thirty years ago that some aging god still reads each day and then tucks back into its envelope."
Appetite: Sex, Touch and Desire in Women with Anorexia — Melissa A. Fabello
a queer, feminist, trans-inclusive, research-driven reframing of anorexia that centers desire rather than its absence—showing how hunger, touch, sex, and control intertwine, and how restriction is often about regulating what and who the body is allowed to want. (cw: this is an academic text that discusses eating disorders and sexual violence.)
Crush — Richard Siken
violent, tender, obsessive. Siken captures queer male desire as something cinematic and dangerous, longing that tips into terror. he writes love like a disaster movie—beautiful, catastrophic, unforgettable. The Torn-Up Road:
“I want to tell you this story without having to confess anything, without having to say that I ran out into the street to prove something, that he didn’t love me, that I wanted to be possessed, thrown over, that I wanted to have the wounds nailed shut. I want to tell you this story without having to be in it.”
Buttercream Joy Sullivan
The Kiss (1908) by Gustav Klimt
