Conversation: 'I love the unexpected revelation—that which offers itself in a quiet moment, buried in the middle of the poem.'

A beautiful interview with beloved Sarah Ghazal Ali 🖤 I feel so fortunate to live & write alongside this poet’s wise, thoughtful brilliance, into / through / around the possibilities of image

Grateful to see AJB collections by SOMS out now! 👇🏾 | @omotarajames.bsky.social & Sarah Ghazal Ali featured on this list in excellent company ⭐️

i love the DEBUTIFUL podcast & consistently find my next read through here, so it’s extra special to have Theophanies featured—especially among such poetry powerhouses 💫

it’s poetry month! buy / borrow a book or 2 or 3!

“Every vision is redolent and terrible. /
Every temporal sight either a miracle or mistake.” We love Sarah Ghazal Ali ‘s poetry.

in all honesty, my whole soul is bared here. Shara is generous & brilliant beyond measure. what a gift to be in conversation. thank you The Rumpus 🌱

A nice thing in a hideous time: my novel, Son of Sin, is getting a UK release later this year 🙏🏽💜 Follow the legends at the87press and subscribe to their great list because *clearly* they have great taste

i’m sorry what! thank you for reading Theophanies Hanif Abdurraqib 💫

this is extra hilarious bc the pictures are literally of the apts i lived in throughout college in santa cruz LOL

every writer removing themselves from consideration for potentially life & career-altering awards inspires me to refuse more, sacrifice more, insist upon more in the name of life. they are honoring palestinian life with conviction. may we all move with such clarity. 🇵🇸

book club is in SESSION! Sarah Ghazal Ali

Hi y’all. ❤️ This is hard. But I’m extra grateful to my friend and favorite prince Mac Crane they/them for helping me organize this as I work as a teaching artist—and try to finish this book of mine in the absence of the stability I need to do it.

if anyone wants to be my agent / give me a million dollars / publish theophanies overseas / turn a poem into performance art / photograph a celebrity on the beach with theophanies— i am open to discussion 🫡

in the meantime, theophanies is now available as an ebook 😚

eid mubarak may we celebrate next ramadan & eid with a liberated palestine

Tomorrow is Eid al-Fitr, and I can't stop thinking about those who are violently denied entry into al-Aqsa, who are refused their right to pray and mourn and celebrate and yet still gather in collective resistance, may tomorrow bring them the truest joys of happiness.
