"There are queer people here that aren’t stupid or hopeless for staying there, for loving there. There are Black and Brown marginalized and of the most marginalized people in that place; making sense of god in hurricanes."

"So many people pity this place, dismiss this place, write off its existence. That is one of the most dangerous ideologies - to pity or to forget. There are some of the most resilient, hilarious, big-hearted people in the American South."

"I grew up in a place that is underwater, literally, and Floridians, especially South Floridians, grow up with an awareness of this proximity. This chapbook centers this orientation and fondness I formed when I left that place and moved to California."
