“Love is a gift that springs from an unlit spot. Resin and rue. Even when I’m in the dark I’m in the dark with you.”

— Alice Fulton, from “It Befalls Us, An Exchanged Glance, Reflective Spasm,” in “Triptych for Topological Heart,” Poetry (July / August 2014)

“Truthfully, this is the fabric of all my fantasies: love shown not by a kiss or a wild look or a careful hand but by a willingness for research. I don’t dream of someone who understands me immediately, who seems to have known me my entire life, who says, I know me too. I want someone keen to learn my own strange organization, amazed at what’s revealed; someone who asks, and then what, and then what?

From The Giant’s House, Elizabeth McCracken
