“Marginality itself becomes a ribbon of road” – The Judy Grahn Reader
Rather than seeing a static, two-dimensional world of center vs. margin . . . we should perceive the world more complexly. In what she calls a “many-centered multiverse,” margin and center are in motion; both center and margin shift and trade places. She writes, “exiles from one place are first class citizens of another, margins of one ‘globe’ are centers of another, ‘marginality’ itself becomes a ribbon of road, a continual and vital interaction shaping and reshaping whatever lies within borders, and ‘difference’ is so essentially common (and Self-centered) that it is duplication that is the oddity.”
