There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.

Pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds.

you’re ignoring me so loud that it’s deafening.
This silence is so deep that it’s echoing.

Powerful words that penetrate the psyche are not forgotten while silence is.

I think people ease into this careerist professionalism, so if you're a writer it's your job to manufacture books as opposed to writing them and to go to festivals and spend your life emotionally invested in reviews or the awards. You have to shrink your universe in a way. To me, it's the opposite.

I'm living to the edges of my fingernails, using everything I have. It's impossible for me to look at things politically or in any way as a project, to further my career. You're injected directly into the blood of the places in which you're living and what's going on there.
