I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Book cover for ‘Dispatches from the Land of Erasure: Essays and Conversations’ by Philip Metres. The cover features an abstract geometric composition of overlapping rectangular blocks in various colors including blues, reds, greens, yellows, purples, and browns against a light gray background. The blocks appear layered and fragmented, creating a mosaic-like pattern that suggests themes of fragmentation and reconstruction. The title and author name are displayed in clean, dark typography at the top of the cover.

When Israeli forces captured Jaffa in 1948, the municipal archives vanished, erasing Palestinians' legal proof of land ownership.

@philipmetres.bsky.social's DISPATCHES FROM THE LAND OF ERASURE shows how Arab poets have sought to preserve this disappeared history.

Here she is!

Text of poem "Teeth"

Photo of poet Jennifer Martelli

I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈‍⬛💔

So, so thrilled that this book is coming out! I’ve pre-ordered and you might want to as well.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

"To answer you–finches, wrens,
robins & sparrows, and crows join,
rustling their wings, arguing
on a telephone line. A blue house
cacophonous with a cook-out
and all that is
summer music. "

from my poem "Curfew" in Boomer Lit. Link in the comments.

A building is one fire. Several men are trying to help, one is carrying a child out of the flames.

Un-fucking-believable. Israel just bombed the food distribution center of The Sameer Project. There are a number of martyrs and people still trapped under the rubble. Please, please donate to their North campaign if you are able. chuffed.org/project/help...
