Kerri quoted this same piece, but well, it is the best part: 
 In response to your inquiry: this is a very complex operation. We have a wide range of specializations and concerns. Some are especially calibrated toward language 
 because of its known and unknown powers 
 to bind and to dissociate 
 because of its capacity 
 to ostracize the speechless 
 because of its capacity 
 to nourish self-deception 
 because of its capacity 
 for rebirth and subversion 
 because of the history 
 of torture 
 against human speech. 
 Otherwise? It felt a bit inauthentic. I get the aims - but I think some stories can only be told when you've lived them. Sorry, Adrienne Rich.
