Compression: Sion Dayson
“Towering grief, overwhelming joy, unutterable confusion and uncertainty—sometimes what life offers feels outsized. If we must try to put words to them, these experiences that approach the ineffable—and this is why we write, yes?—it seems compression can help us illuminate, or distill, meaning. Say only what’s needed. State the essential. Search for the crux of the thing.” — Sion Dayson
