It is not sex that gives the pleasure, but the lover. (p402) - Marge Piercy

The best way, we always say, to learn to write memoirs is to read memoirs and learn from those that don't work for you as well as from those who do. Look at how they did things. Separate out the craft elements. If you want to write detective stories, read them. If you want to write historical novels, read them.

there is no justice we don't make daily
like bread and love.

I think poetry ultimately is a more communal activity than fiction, but I love both equally.
