5 months ago, PEN America asked me to be an honourary co-chair of this year's World Voices Festival. I was honoured. Then I watched what PEN did - and failed to do - about Gaza. Here is a letter from a group of us about why we cannot participate. lithub.com/naomi-klein-is…

I'm thrilled to say that WAVEMACHINE is rebooting in the Bay Area on Sat, July 27th, ft. Sophia Dahlin, Daniel Poppick, Geoffrey G. O'Brien, & Juliana Spahr. It's also a housewarming party + a fundraiser for Palestinian life. More details here: davidgorin.net/wavemachine
