Reading Victor Heringer's THE LOVE OF SINGULAR MEN and had to share and re-gender these sentences: "Last time I saw [him], about two years ago, it looked like [he'd] slept in a bath of bleach. [He's] old in the damp, flaccid way of someone who loved being young a bit too much."

“A photograph gives shape to history; it allows us to fashion a landscape of feeling, . . . A photograph is a ladder that goes backward in time, a ladder we can push away whenever we want. With photographs, we can obscure the past as much as illuminate it.” ~Billy-Ray Belcourt

Just sitting here thinking about Mary Ann Willson (circa 1820s) and wondering how terrific her work will look on my lesbian-focused queer lit syllabus that is still very much a work in progress.
