Strawberries

I'm starting to write my dissertation and it's been a hard process to even start writing. I kept forgetting how incredible, insightful and subversive these texts are. I'll leave you with this "taster:"

"Queen Nibble chewed [the strawberry]. Her mouth filled with juice, the juice of summer and sunshine and silliness, a pink tingling juice that put pictures into her mind of balloons and wobbling red jellies and a best friend with a big daft laugh. The juice trickled down her chin and onto her palest dress, staining it forever in a shape exactly like a heart."

- Queen Munch and Queen Nibble, Carol Ann Duffy
