While putting together my latest book, there were many art pieces I couldn't fit in - mostly due to the lack of space like this one.

#tbr (3/5): hopeless savages: break by #jenvanmeter, #meredithmcclaren, @christinenorrie, the diary of #anaisnin vol. 1 1932-1934, this is how you lose her by #junotdiaz, monstress by #lysleytenorio, you too can have a body like mine @alexandrakleeman, np by #bananayoshimoto, tender delirium by #taniaderozario, the PowerBook by #jeanettewinterson, and the beautiful indifference by #sarahhall. My favorite dysfunctional, weirdo family at it again! I love skank zero so much. I keep on coming across anais nin's work so I want to read her diary in full and be awashed in her gorgeous language and thoughts. I loved diaz's short story collection "drown" and I read excerpts of this and it's so good, ugh. Acclaimed and by a Filipino author *snag* I loved it when kleeman came to @aaww_nyc, she was so sweet and what she read floored me. Banana has always been part of the Asian lit canon so I need to try her out. I love Rozario's poetry so I needed her book once I saw it at an NYC bookstore. An email writer can grant your any wish provided you pay the consequences, and interestingly, she has to pay a debt too. Dark, short fiction with a beautiful flower veneer. YES. ALL THE YES. #summertbr #tbrpile #books #comic @onipress @hmhbooks @riverheadbooks @eccobooks @harperbooks @groveatlantic @booksactually #mathpaperpress @aaknopf @harperperennial #onipress #hmh #hmhbooks #riverhead #ecco #harper #groveatlantic #aaknopf #harperperennial

FOREHEAD

My forehead is so wide you could serve breakfast on it and still have space for dessert. When I was young, I hated it. Kids in school would tease me about the amount of space above my eyebrows, tell me I was balding, call me a walking solar plate. One day I went home crying and when I told my father why, he laughed and took me in his arms, saying, “Princess, your forehead is wide so I can fit all my kisses on it, enough to last you all day until you come back home to me and I can fill it up again.

“Your forehead is wide so that when you’re having a fever, my huge hand will always cover it just fine. This space above your eyebrows is the vastness of the night sky. It tells you what you can imagine is greater than what you can see, hear, taste and touch, and it is wide so there is enough space in your head to hold all the dreams you hands are still too small to carry. “Your forehead, my Princess, is wide like mine. It is my present to you and only you; no one else in the family has it. You have my brains, you have my smarts; now go find your own heart.”

After that, I wore this forehead proudly as a soldier does his medal. I pinned my hair all the way back so everyone could see it. When they laughed, I held back my own smile. But lately, I have been cutting bangs. - Cheryl Julia Lee, from “We Were Always Eating Expired Things”
