Amanda Goldblatt – A carefully folded-up plane of lyric flame like a sweater for the winter in the attic but watch that shit unfurl

Amanda Goldblatt, Catalpa: This Is Not True, The Cupboard, 2010.

"We can not know what nonfiction is until we know how to punctuate it. We cannot know how to punctuate it until we admit the truth. We cannot admit the truth until we know what words we need to hide. Catalpa is an essay. And a poem, a confession, at least once a recipe. It's the best kind of nonfiction: the kind that isn't true."
