Quote of the Day

I probably would add — you don’t need anyone's permission to write. You don’t need your professor's permission, you don’t need my permission, you don’t need Marvel’s, and that is the most beautiful thing about writing. You just need a notebook and a pen and you’re good to go.

Poet Yona Harvey, Pitt Professor and Guggenheim Fellow
