“It’s ALL Collaboration. Anyone who ever fed you, loved you, anyone who ever made you feel unworthy, stupid, ugly, anyone who made you express doubt or assuredness, every one of these helped make you…And we have each fit together uniquely as a result, and so there are no misshapen forms as all are misshapen forms from tyrants to wallflowers…We are here relying on one another whether or not we wish it. There are no poets writing in quiet caves because every poet is a human being as misshapen as any other human being…We are not alone in our particular stew of molecules and the sooner we admit, even admire the influence of this world, the freer we will be to construct new chords of thought without fear.”
— from “THE RIGHT TO MANIFEST MANIFESTO” by CA Conrad
