Many people are asking about this.

This is why Israel is relentlessly murdering Gazan journalists. This is what they don’t want you to see.

Congratulations Vida! Very well deserved

Beyond grateful to Kendra DeColo for including my poem in her poem-a-day curation. And that too in Women's History Month. And thank you, reader, for being with it. Today, I wish us the best tea.

Call it genocide, Nakba, holocaust. Don’t call it war or conflict and for f-sake don’t say it’s complicated. Over 30.000 Palestinians murdered by Israeli forces in Gaza, millions more starving to death by design. Complicating this is complicity, pure and simple. Free Palestine!

Taking the palace for a drive

As you know by now, our former distributor has closed, affecting hundreds of presses. As we figure out next steps, here's what you can do to help small, independent publishers, not just Noemi, a 🧵 1/x

Every publisher I talk with now (whether they were with SPD or other distro) is talking about how to increase direct sales, which pay for print runs, royalties, and generally keep the lights on. Ordering from affected presses is the very best thing you can do for them this week!

There’s a difference between holding someone accountable and becoming a carceral agent who wants to be branded as an upright person.

“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison

This is not just news, this is LITERALLY HAPPENING.. My friend in Gaza City says she cannot find anything to feed her infant, she says a large portion of her day is wasted just thinking how she can be creative to find alternatives to keep her baby alive, dear world!!!

That's my baby! Much congratulations Adedayo Agarau!

I wish I could be shouting this news from the rooftops. Instead, from the boring but cozy confines of my sickness bed, I am so freaking thrilled to share that my work of four years, my next book of poems, FIFTY MOTHERS will be published by @riverriverbooks in February 26!
