"You ponder, What if starting tomorrow the days without sunrise continue?

Then we’d be inside this black mirror 24 hours a day, and who’d dip a pen

Into the mirrorwater to write about us?

Why is there so much ink for writing?"

-“I Want to Go to the Island: Day Twenty” by Kim Hyesoon, translated by Don Mee Choi

"I DON’T MAKE ANYTHING FOR INTELLECTUALS. THIS IS PART OF MY DESPICABLE WOLF CHARM. IF YOU’RE AN INTELLECTUAL, I’M SORRY. YOU HAVE ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME."

-Eleanor Eli Moss, "The Holy Bible" Book of Wolf, v. 12-13

this is part of a project i'm working on. it's a list of all the epigraphs in the books/zines/chapbooks/etc. i own. i'm interested in better understanding why writers choose specific epigraphs and what their actual functions are in books.

there are 157 books/zines/etc. with epigraphs in my collection. around 31% of books in my library have epigraphs.
