short story collection HER OTHER MOUTH blah blah blah all this jacking
off is just so much word spoo.
"the man i am married to now doesn't mind. other ones did. there is an
invisible strain, sinewy, ready to rip, between a woman and words. i
like to push on words until they rip. i like to leave the wound
unsutured, not for shock-value, but to combat ignorance with mildy
interesting questions. 'Wife' is like a tattoo, or a cut, something into
the flesh to battle complacency about gender, monogamy, and heterosexuality.
i'm just curious and driven. those are my best bets."
