In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.

I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. Great thanks to the prize’s jury and board members for honoring me.
I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza.
Blessings to the 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.
Blessings to the souls of my four first cousins, two of whom were killed with their husbands and their children. Blessings to the soul of my great aunt, Fatima, whose “corpse” remains under the rubble of her house since October 2024. Blessings to the graves of my grandparents who I will never find.
Blessings to the souls of my students who got killed while looking for food or firewood. To the school where I studied and where I taught, to the library that I founded and to which I added one poetry book before 2023.
Blessings to many more, many more.
I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and JUSTICE and PEACE!

"A cactus grows in the graveyard of the blues
where I kick an anthill off a headstone
then pick the ants out of my shoe."

in the poem "Little Zion Churchyard" by Nathan Fako, in the new No. 48 / The American South issue of Hobo Camp Review

"Still. I think I believe
in this human work: the nightly rediscovery
of a sleep position, the bruises’
unfurling before they heal."

Last week, Ben Gvir proposed a ban on all Palestinians picking olives in the West Bank. Today, his followers killed a 59-year-old Palestinian woman while she was picking olives. The killer likely won't be held accountable, as he is acting on a cabinet minister wishes.

I don't think I care as much about demystifying poetry for people as much as getting them interested in mystery

“I am funny, am I not?
Let scrunchies advise
those gaps in circuits
(for the plot I swear)
heat meaning error
spark meaning heat
keep the first person
away & loosen its ties

when the moon rises
just for the fun of it.”
Keyi Wang, from “The Twelfth Elegy”
