What you don’t write gives what you do its power.
In this response to Toni Morrison, David E. Matthews explores silence as form — where poetry approaches zero and meaning expands.

I have this space. It’s where I am. It’s where I have power. It’s where I have freedom. I can do anything there. Nobody can tell me what to do. I don't have to listen to anyone. It's a place where I am free. #ToniMorrison #NarrativeSovereignty #SovereignSelf #ThePiecesIAm #InnerSanctuary
"We do language. That is how civilizations heal." — Toni Morrison. In #SelfTalkHeals, chaos is raw data. Refuse the script of despair; metabolise the dross into wisdom. You are the sovereign architect of your history. #NarrativeSovereignty #ToniMorrison #SystemReset #TakeBackThePen
This is precisely the time when artists go to work—not when everything is fine, but in times of dread. That’s our job!
There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. #ToniMorrison

Never, *ever*, pass up reading any #ToniMorrison book.
El experimento sociológico de #ToniMorrison en los 90 con el relato "Las dos amigas" puede valer para analizar también las críticas contra la eliminación del #binarismo. El concepto es el mismo: eliminar cualquier código social que señale el género o, como ella hizo, el color de la piel. #escritoras

You know what Taylor Swift does when someone writes a think-piece about there being too much Taylor Swift? She writes another album.
