writing blood people
What do prisoners do? Write, of course; even if they have to use blood as ink, as the Marquis de Sade did.

We write to escape our prisons. Alice Weaver Flaherty
writing men color
How could poetry and literature have arisen from something as plebian as the cuneiform equivalent of grocery-store bar codes?

writing agony creating
I do not suppose that anyone not a poet can realize the agony of creating a poem. Every nerve, even every muscle, seems strained to the breaking point.
