Joel: What's the point of being a writer or an artist anyway? Herman Melville wrote fuckin' Moby Dick, and he was so poor and forgotten by the time he died that in his obituary they called him Henry Melville. You know, like why bother? They're just going to forget our fuckin' names anyway.
James Brennan: That's bullshit.
Joel: It's true, they called him Henry.
James Brennan: No, I mean, he wrote a seven-hundred page allegorical novel about the whaling industry. I think he was a pretty passionate guy, Joel. I hope they call me Henry when I die, too.
Joel: One can only hope.

The Great Gatsby Breaks My Heart by Dorothy Doyle...
It isn’t the way he stares over the black satin sound nor his unshakable belief in the dock light. I thought it was the impossible way her loves her, but it isn’t that either; we all know she was built only of silver and gold. It’s the pool, his blood in the water, thin circle of red against the current; the moment there isn’t any green left, that’s when I break.

“This is my book,” she said.
She put it down on the desk and almost stepped back when she did it. She was going to step back but then changed her mind. She glanced at me again and I could feel somebody inside of her looking out as if her body were a castle and a princess lived inside.

They Call It Attempted Suicide by Jack Gilbert
My brother’s girlfriend was not prepared for how much blood splashed out. He got home in time, but was angry about the mess she had made of his room. I stood behind, watching them turn into something manageable. Thinking how frightening it must have been before things had names. We say peony and make a flower out of that slow writhing. Deal with the horror of recurrence by calling it a...
