“I think for a writer you don’t see a thing until you use the word for it and the more precise the word you can use the more precisely you see it. On the other hand, the word is an instrument in order to lead you to the thing and you can spin a whole lot of words around yourself for years and years and years, as the jeweler does, until it gets to the point where your primary relationship is with the language and not with the thing.”
Bellevue Literary Press’s Erika Goldman
“BLP’s mission is to publish high quality fiction and nonfiction at the intersection of the arts and the sciences, with a special focus on medicine. Our books address the impact of illness on the body, consciousness, and all human experience.”
