I also want to take a second to praise @tagreathouse for her poem-a-day editorship all month, prioritizing less established poets folks need to be reading, alongside Palestinian, trans, qpoc, and disabled folks, esp in the aftermath of @POETSorg's recent editorial failures

[George Abraham (they/he) 🍉 جورج إبراهيم @IntifadaBatata]

I've been telling y'all that @khilfish is a poet you need to be reading. I hope people really sit with this poem, and the ways US language apparatus is failing us & manufacturing consent to genocide.

[George Abraham (they/he) 🍉 جورج إبراهيم @IntifadaBatata]

Cannot wait for this book & I hope everyone working within the lit criticism apparatus pays attention! My pressmates at Haymarket poetry (thanks to the most brilliant editors+poets) never disappoint & it's an eternal honor to be a life-long reader of these brilliant folks

[George Abraham (they/he) 🍉 جورج إبراهيم @IntifadaBatata]

WE CANNOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS GENOCIDE!

It has not stopped. And even when we get a "ceasfire," whatever tf that word even means now, we cannot stop talking about Gaza.

I don't think ppl understand the way Palestinian society will be tending to these wounds for generations

Your regularly scheduled reminder that Workshops for Gaza has a bookstore in partnership with @openpoetrybooks 📚📚📚 All proceeds from any books bought on this page will go directly to Mohammed, one of the families we are supporting. https://t.co/YTBKBfBP7d

I have many but “White Dog” by Carl Phillips is truly *chefs kiss*

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

Since there are professors telling students to read a lot or else they’ll never be educated, I want to remind everyone about what Paulo Freire one said: the quality of reading outweighs the quantity and that reading the world is as important as reading the word.
