"But Knud is connected to this landscape, and he knows that identity must be formed in the schism. You carry the place you come from inside of you, but you can never go back to it."
**********************************************************************
"'I have come here often,' she writes. 'A whole childhood, every single day. All these arrivals are false, because in reality I was born here. Here I can do nothing but return.'
But that's just one side of the coin, Kerstin, I think. The other is this: the place you come from is not somewhere you can ever return. It no longer exists, and you have become a stranger."
A Line in the World: A Year on the North Sea Coast by Dorthe Nors trans. by Caroline Waight

Tarfia Faizullah
from Register of Illuminated Villages (Graywolf, 2018)
Great Material
There were the blue-tied garbage bags
bulging with her dresses. Then, the buzz
of junebugs on nights I sat on the roof alone
and asked where my sister was until I felt stupid
and stopped. What do you say to the dead?
How can we rejoin them when we fall apart
in the safety net below? Does she know
her friends Lauren and Cameron played
house after she died, set a place for her
at a play dinner table? As though she
might stop by for a few bites of air
from empty plates with spoons empty
of her short seven years on this planet . . .
it unbottles me, how precisely they lamented
her. What great material, the conference
well-wisher said. Can’t wait to read that poem.
Here it is then, now. The crinkle of your laughter.
The beetles pouring into your eyes as we toast you.

Nonfiction Books on Women in Pain
Women and men more often than not do not receive the same level of care and treatment when they go to a doctor for assistance. Women are statistically more likely to be silenced or ignored; their aches and pains are often chalked up to menstrual ailments, overreactions, or just plain attention-seeking behavior. This is not always the case, of course, but it happens often enough to warrant plenty…
