From Marrying The Hangman

“To live in prison is to live without mirrors. To live without mirrors is to live without the self. She is living selflessly, she finds a hole in the stone wall and on the other side of the wall, a voice. The voice comes through darkness and has no face. This voice becomes her mirror.”
— Margaret Atwood, from Marrying The Hangman in “Selected Poems II: 1976-1986″
