Poetry and the Word Quiet in Conversation With Other Poems
Victoria Attiquet bully writes a poem called not quiet isn't quiet. In it she looks at what the word "quiet" can mean in many different ways. She asks who gets to decide what kind of quiet is good and if there's some danger that's occurring in quiet too. The poet doesn't resolve tension but lets it sit on the page, allowing it to be present.
