We All Bleed

 

“I admire the poets and writers who so cohesively speak to contexts of blood. They can speak of the literal and symbolic nature of blood: as in prejudice, violence, love or cultural divide, to how in the name of blood there is separation as well as union: we live, we love. From the physiological view, we need blood to fuel our systems. Our blood flows. Our skin breaks. We see the bleeding. We feel the bleeding. We all bleed.”
Introduction statement, Natalie Craig, 2019
