My poet, kill-weathered hand and bent,
ready knee, pinning light with a palm spread wide,
beseeching fabric, limning nothing,
he takes old scars for his own seams.
In “Muʿallaqat ʿAntarah,” a needle moves through fabric, memory, and poetic tradition, stitching together old wounds and new forms.

Fyi, there doesn't seem to be any reason this Publishing Scotland Translation Fund (open now) couldn't support translation of Arabic works by authors living in Scotland.

Excellent issue of @PalFest 's The Key. Samaa Khullar documents the reorientation of the New York City's cultural geography around the question of Palestine, US empire and institutional complicity.

Truth is a Mango
"There’s a saying in Arabic, al-sidq mangah: the truth is a refuge. Or, as one of my cellmates pronounced it, in colloquial fashion: al-sidq manga. Truth’s a mango."

Believe me, if I could
I would be
Before you
And behind you
Beside you
Above you
Under you
Of you
Of your sin
Believe me
There’s a knock at the door
And if I don’t move
Now
I won’t
Blame you
If you do
