Despite my lovely diction I am going to die.

Lynn Emanuel Poet

Begin with loss and see how the world contradicts you, how the horizon implies that beyond it the water is not empty but full of ships all docking at another island.

Lynn Emanuel Poet

To what or whom does Lizzie Harris direct the imperative title of her startling first book, Stop Wanting? To the reader, the narrator, to desire itself, or to lack? This is a work of complexly, ambiguously layered narratives and identities. The opening poem asserts I want to say what happened / but am suspicious of stories. These lines become an ars poetica for the whole of this painful and exceptional collection in which the unspeakable is stubbornly confronted by a searing eloquence. This is a commanding debut.

Lynn Emanuel Poet

To survive, China had to open up to the West. It could not survive otherwise. This was after many millions have died of hunger in a country that was like North Korea is today. Once we became part of global competition, we had to agree to some rules. It's painful, but we had to. Otherwise there was no way to survive.

Ai Weiwei Contemporary Artist

Yes, there is a crisis of hunger on the planet, but hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy.

Anna Lappe Author

Concentration comes out of a combination of confidence and hunger.

Arnold Palmer Professional Golfer

I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.

Augusten Burroughs Writer

It's not volume, nor is it calories that we biologically hunger for. It's micronutrients. And until we receive enough, the hunger signal will continually urge us to eat. Thankfully, there's a simple fix: nutrient-dense food.

Brendan Brazier Athlete

America and Americans always rise to the occasion. If we say we are going to stamp out hunger, I believe we will.

Christie Brinkley Model

At the end of Requiem all I wanted to do was get a DV camera and just do a small film. But then the hunger comes back.

Darren Aronofsky Film Director
