If I must die, let it be a tale. #FreePalestine #Gaza

Eek! jasmine khaliq and I are going to Santa Fe for a co-residency! Thanks so much Writing By Writers and @pam_houston for this incredible opportunity! ❤️ writingxwriters.org/past-winners

grateful to bennington review for publishing my love letter to living alone in a tiny apartment in seattle, grateful for that life there, grateful to be alive at all.

Unbelievable poem by Palestinian-American poet Hala Alyan

“I do not consent to my death being passing news. Say, too, that I love life, happiness, freedom, children’s laughter, the sea, coffee, writing, Fairouz, everything that is joyful—though these things will all disappear in the space of a moment.” - Nour al-Din Hajjaj

hi! i’ll be floating around at awp again this year and would love to see folks near and far! i’ll for sure be at our QW reading on wednesday night—come if you’re free! 🐇🩵

Tomorrow, thousands of U.S. writers, teachers, students, editors, and publishers gather in Kansas City, Missouri, for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs annual conference. On the left, a plea. On the right, the response. Shame on you, AWP. #GazaGenocide

You spend months driving people south. You announce it is the only safe zone. You kettle the people there. And then you attack them by air and land. That is textbook genocide and anyone who denies it is a genocide supporter.

full of love for/from everyone i saw and ran into at awp, so grateful for all your affirmation and art, and even more grateful to those who too understood/understand that every memory and every day now is cut through by the evil and horror of an active genocide. free palestine.

“If I die I don’t forgive any one of you.” No matter what, we don’t deserve forgiveness.

So thrilled to be included in this incredible Shō Poetry Journal lineup! So many fabulous poets, including my dear friend and colleague jasmine khaliq !
