My most favorite Dorothy Allison quote:
Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I would rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.

And some of her best advice for writers:
"I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them. "

I read her book "Bastard out of Carolina," must have been almost 20 years ago. I need to see if I still have my copy... I should read it again. Thank you for reminding me. How blessed we are to have her speaking at the reunion. She is a brilliant writer and poet.
