Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes

Dear Sophie,

***

As Sy's story from the Kenyan poet: pointing to a map: it hurts here and here.

12/05/15: SG opened his GA 2015 oral report with this quote:
“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”
― Warsan Shire
