HABITS OF DEFERENCE CAN BE BROKEN, AND IT IS UP TO WRITERS TO BREAK THEM. SUBMISSION CAN BE REFUSED; AND I REFUSE IT.
// Andrea Dworkin, 1995 preface to Intercourse, 1987
I WANT TO SHOVE A FINGER INTO THE SILENCE AND MAKE IT VOMIT.
// Kim Hyesoon, “A Death as a Theme for a Meal” from Mommy Must Be a Fountain of Feathers, 2008
