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
