"I started underlining but quickly realized I would've underlined nearly the entire book if I continued. This collection is everything. I am so impressed by Lisowski's visual poetics; overlapping prose blocks perfectly capture the experience of living" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Zefyr Lisowski  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In the summer after my father died, I spent days unable to get out of bed. I had vivid nightmares of monstrous women lurching out of televisions or crammed into attics, bones cracking out of place. I had nightmares that I was monstrous too. I thought these dreams were further punishment, a reflection of who I had become. But now I wonder how much the things that scare us are always trying to form their own communities too.”
