Congratulations Vida! Very well deserved

Why yall scared of the word black, POC this POC that say BLACK

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

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

The problem with PEN America is that they CAN express full solidarity & HAVE. They’ve done it before, condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with their whole chest. Palestine is just the blaring exception. You can’t pretend now to be an org above politics. You just can’t!

can poets please stop publishing work in the atlantic now? what more will it take?

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!

It’s so devastating to look at videos like these and know the Palestinians in them are dead and everything around them no longer exists too. The buildings, the birds singing in the trees, the trees, all of it is gone.
