“When art ends up on a reservation, it dies,” he replied. “Art needs to be in conversation with other art, all the time. … Everybody just thinks like somehow we’re only in conversation with other Native art. And that’s not true at all.”

Slaughter High (My Heart Is A Chainsaw chapter 3 summary):

Haha, jk jade survives but missed like 7 weeks of school. When she arrives at school she realizes that she was last week's news. She went to the bathroom to put some eyeliner on, and her hair is now blue. So this goth baddie is doing her thing. Then this girl approaches her and Jade doesn't really know how to feel about her or how to respond to her. To Jade's benefit, this girl is like a solid 5’11, but we find out her name is Letha and they are kind of friends, or maybe later in the book they will be besties or something. At the end of the chapter, it shows the essay Jade writes to Mr. Holmes talking about how final girls are strong girlbosses.

Just read that in Turkey some people don't say "I love you" instead they say "ruhum ruhun, ruhun ruhum olsun" which means "let my soul be your soul, let your soul be my soul" and that's so beautiful.

I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also so much more than that. So are we all.

James Baldwin, from Collected Essays; "Notes of a Native Son"

[Text ID: It began to seem that one would have to hold in the mind forever two ideas which seemed to be opposition. The first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is commonplace. But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one's own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one's strength. This fight begins, however, in the heart and it now had been laid to my charge to keep my own heart free of hatred and despair.]

It's Feral Friday!

If Special Collections were compared to a National Park- a thoughtfully curated, accessible experience of the wilderness of the natural world- where would its edges lie? What would be considered off the beaten path, how would its boundaries be defined, and in what ways would the landscape beyond those boundaries inspire our imagination and broaden our conceptions of the world and our communicative capacities?

That’s the realm of pluralistic inquiry explored by Feral Fridays, a new weekly post where we’ll feature items from our collection like zines, experimental book arts, independently produced poetry and other unruly materials that exist at the margins of publishing and literary traditions.

Let’s get Feral!

--Ana, Special Collections Graduate Intern
