Fuel For the Fire: February 12th

This week’s fuel comes from Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. I’m still untangling all the brilliance of this novel, but this is a passage I copied down as soon as I read it:

“Home is about the earth. Whether the earth open up to you. Whether it pull you so close the space between you and it melt and y’all one and it beats like your heart. Same time.”

Additionally, some recent non-book fuel:
