"Language is being altered in the West Wing of the White House, ordnances are being sortied. Empty of consequence. Ordnances are no longer bombs, they don't fall on flesh, they don't tear open the skulls of women and men rushing for shelter, they don't empty the faces of children, or crush bodies carrying the small lives of people like us" - "Blood Wash" by Frances Payne Adler, as relevant now as it was when it was published about the Gulf War in 1991 📚❤️☮️ #books #read #reading #bookish #booklover #booklife #bibliophile #poetry #themakingofamatriot #francespayneadler #redhenpress #bookstagram #booksofinstagram
