I wrote this about a real Palestinian family. They are not a poetic construction. And they are starving to death. You can help stop that. Consider donating if you are able (link in the comments).

A stylized and abstract digital poster forIntersecting Minds: A Conversation with Poet Matt McBride. The background consists of layered textures, collaged elements, and muted warm tones with overlays of torn paper, architectural sketches, and text fragments. At the top, a large, teal-colored brain-like shape contains the words "INTERSECTING MINDS" in black uppercase letters. "NEURO POETICS" runs vertically along the right edge in black text. The top left displays "1PM (EST), ZOOM." The date "3/21" is displayed in large black numbers on the left side. The lower half contains overlapping images, including a faded photograph of Matt McBride reading poetry at a microphone, fragments of book covers, and architectural elements. The title, "A Conversation with Poet Matt McBride," is written in bold black text at the bottom.
My colleague and friend, @lemonylemons.bsky.social generously invited me to speak with her NeuroHumanities group, Intersecting Minds, March 21 @1pm. The event is virtual (and free). If you have the time, I'd love to see you there. Link in the comments.

I love it when a poem erases any trace of itself at the end.
