I wrote about what I’d been reading, for the The Guardian. Now: editing’s important. I’m happy to be edited and I welcome it. But isn’t it funny how it’s always the same word that gets edited out? theguardian.com/books/2024/may…

KEEP PROTESTING

KEEP BOYCOTTING

KEEP TALKING AND

FIGHTING FOR US,

WE HEAR YOU FROM GAZA

Ah, the New York Times, where even Palestinian hope is confined to scare quotes.

Happy pub day to WHAT COMES BACK by JAVIER PEÑALOSA M. (@jabichu), transl. by ROBIN MYERS (@robin_ep_myers)! Featured in separate sections, original Spanish poems and Robin Myers’s English translations highlight tender ruminations on loss and communion: bit.ly/3TCAGCu

TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968

while we obsess over every tiny moment at student protests here, israel is planning to invade rafah, which is expected to be magnitudes more brutal than even what we've seen thus far thecradle.co/articles-id/24…

I’m so happy that this book has finally arrived in physical form! Thank you, @jabichu; thank you, Copper Canyon Press ☀️

I lost it last night thinking about that little girl who died alone and scared whose name now hangs over a building at Columbia. Thinking of my own little girl. Hind deserved to live. They all do. Free Palestine

Por lo menos existen las lagartijas besuconas.

Dozens of Columbia students and community members have barricaded themselves inside the Hamilton building to protest the University’s complicity in the genocidal war on Gaza. Hundreds of students are picketing outside the building as well as the encampment.

Confesión: a mí me daba hueva/pánico Homero hasta que conocí a Daniel Lipara y su forma tan curiosa, porosa y generosa de leerlo; de explorar todo lo extraño, lo vivo, lo transformador que hay ahí. Este taller va a ser una cosa muy hermosa, les digo. ✨

on the heels of reading that gross op-ed, i finally got a minute to withdraw in writing from serving as a judge for PEN America.

i got the kindest reply back in solidarity. respect to all the PEN staff who are carrying the brunt of work for poor leadership.

We want to introduce you to some young poets in Gaza.

Through the genocide, they have not stopped writing.

Most have been made homeless.

All want to escape.

They need all of our help, so we want to tell you about them. 🧵

“The child Hala’s last will, as shared by her parents.”

THE CHILD HALA’S LAST WILL, AS SHARED BY HER PARENTS.

Salió este poemón de Hosam Maarouf traducido por Fady Joudah en el poem per diem de Robin Myers. Maarouf está recaudando fondos para sacar a su familia de Gaza. Va el link para quien pueda dar una mano donando o difundiendo la campaña 🇵🇸♥️
