discipline, without piety,

his poems as high prayer.”
—Major Jackson, ‘In Memory of Derek Alton Walcott’

“[In] Lucien Castaing-Taylor’s [film] Sweetgrass...we watch the men skin lambs who have died in childbirth and tenderly place these pelts onto orphans, whose mothers have died in the same process. Patiently, they coax these lambs towards the mothers who have lost their own offspring.”
Martha Tuttle, Weaving Language I: Lexicon (2022), 21
