“Chloe is a soul surgeon. Each essay cuts us open, laying bare the sinewy tension of our opposites. And with gentle, skilled hands (or are they wings?), she excises any need for certainty.”
nesting – an excerpt
“When I die, I hope to do so having stretched my heart to it’s very limit. I want my heart to drag itself over the finish line bloodied and battle-worn from having refused nothing—and with its final beat to say, “Yes, Death. I will love you, too”.
We are promised nothing.
We are owed nothing.”
