Quotes by Kyo Maclear  (?)

“It is possible too that I was experiencing something known as "anticipatory grief," the mourning that occurs before a certain loss. Anticipatory. Expectatory. Trepidatory. This grief had a dampness. It did not drench or drown me, but it hung in the air like a pallid cloud, thinning but never entirely vanishing. It followed me wherever I went and gradually I grew used to looking at the world through it.”
Kyo Maclear, Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation

“I like the idea of songs sung by those without big voices. You know, small birdsongs that rise above the noise of the city.”
Kyo Maclear, Birds Art Life: A Year of Observation

“If I were flying, I would travel to a perfect place. A place with frosted cakes and beautiful flowers and excellent trees to climb and absolutely no doldrums.”
Kyo Maclear, Virginia Wolf

“If I were flying, I would travel to a perfect place. A place with frosted cakes and beautiful flowers and excellent trees to climb and absolutely no doldrums.”
Kyo Maclear, Virginia Wolf

“A mother enters a story. But how does she enter? How does she walk across the pages of a book?”
Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets

“What is grief, if not the act of persisting and reconstituting oneself? What is its difficulty, if not the pressure to appear, once more, fully formed?”
Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets
tags: grief

“If we hybrids have a superpower, it is the ability to side-see, to scour the periphery of stories and a heritage industry that view the world too narrowly. We know the world is a continuum of polar things, and the words “my people” and “my roots” can be a carnival of confusion.”
Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets

“Red trillium, clintonia, trout lily and bellwort— the artist explained that these fragile groupings, some upwards of one hundred years old, had a greater capacity for reproduction and survival than single specimens.”
Kyo Maclear, Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets
