Let the Games Begin

When I was little, one of the first places my parents let me visit by myself was BookCourt, a bookstore around the corner from our house in Cobble Hill. One of my first solo expeditions there ended in disaster. The blue BMX bike I rode was stolen from the store’s foyer. The consensus was that the bike had been taken by the squatters who, rumor had it, lived next to the shop. This was back when it Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Ivy Pochoda  (?)

“You think you have it all figured out—you’ve timed your commute, you’ve fit in your weekend run or you haven’t, you’ve got life down to a science, a mathematical equation of time, interest, and energy. But one day something stands up to you, surprises you in a place where you’ve determined never to be surprised. And that’s when you run. You move fast the wrong way through traffic. You think it’s working. But something deep inside, driving the rhythm of your steps, tells you that it isn’t. So you try again. You search for that tiny space hidden in you, untouched by everything that you’ve experienced or survived.”
Ivy Pochoda, Wonder Valley

“Why do men and other women want to punish women?”
Ivy Pochoda, These Women

“She craves the brutality of the attack because when it comes it will be a release.”
Ivy Pochoda, These Women
