Kim Addonizio (born Kim Addie, July 31, 1954 Washington, D.C., United States) is an American poet and novelist.
I want to walk like I’m the only woman on earth and I can have my pick.
Love's merciless, the way it travels in and keeps emitting light.
Maybe you're one of those people who writes poems, but rarely reads them. Let me put this as delicately as I can: If you don't read, your writing is going to suck.
I'm so in love with you I can't stand up.
. . . All artists’ work is autobiographical. Any writer’s work is a map of their psyche. You can really see what their concerns are, what their obsessions are, and what interests them.
Love me like a wrong turn on a bad road late at night.
I only want to walk a little longer in the cold blessing of the rain, and lift my face to it.
Out there people are working and arguing and laughing, living their beautiful, terrible lives, falling in love and having babies and being bored out of their skulls and feeling depressed, then being consoled by some little thing like watching the patterns the light makes through the leaves of trees, casting shadows on the sidewalks. I remember the line from that poem now. Downward to darkness, on extended wings.
