Examples
“She was a storm
not the kind
you run from
but the kind
you chase”
- Excerpt from r.h.Sin
“but this smart snow erases
nothing, seeps everywhere,
the search engine is inside us,
the world is our display”
― Excerpt from Engines Within the Throne, by Cathy Park Hong
“And she’s going to learn that this life will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”
- Excerpt from If I Should Have a Daughter, By Sarah Kay
