Quote of the Day
“People tend to romanticize nature, and to connect it to an earlier time, a more innocent time. They don’t give the natural world credit for being a place of great violence, the fight for survival on the part of animals, the unpredictability and destructiveness of a storm, or of the ocean.” — Carl Phillips, “The Art of Poetry No. 103,” The Paris Review (Spring 2019)
