I saw a headless woman
hurrying after her like a jaguar.

The Rumpus Interview with Rachel Eliza Griffiths – The Rumpus

Rachel Eliza Griffiths’s Mule & Pear is one of the most affecting books of poetry I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading

from the famine in your mind.

– Rachel Eliza Griffiths, “Dear America”
