Mary Ruefle is so brutal and wonderful.

Out October 2023 from Wave Books

Summer late evening my friend the sunset to surprise me took the most interesting streets Late he was Longer than ever before

Mary Ruefle, “Happiness” (Dunce)

i love it when you read multiple works from a writer and you start being able to pick out the things that stick with them. like the themes they keep thinking about, that can’t be satisfied with just one poem or novel or story. or the motifs they like to reuse and recycle throughout their works like an extradiagetic thread. it’s like drawing a map through a writer’s collection of all the things that keep them up at night

"Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life."

– Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

"Moonlight" (1902) by Lionel Walden

Fog and Sun, Sea and Stone The Monterey Coast, 1980

libraries were literally created for lonely little girls who would then go on to become lonely fully grown women btw

Mary Ruefle

this is such a simple but good bad kids friendship moment to me. fabian being the first one to say hi to gorgug when he shows up in the middle of the investigation, followed by fig. gorgug saying hi but communicating that he doesn’t want to talk & them both not understanding but going “okay.” gorgug saying hi to riz as a form of acknowledgement even though he’s in full blown investigative mode & probably hasn’t realized gorgug is there yet. gorgug feeling comfortable enough to just put on his headphones & unwind while sitting there with his friends. they’ve come so far from freshman year ❤️

My page for @destinytriofanzine! I drew something about kids always dreaming of far off places

Very curious about this implied friendship.
