ALT Poem by Fady Joudah Suddenly I āin ablazeā died. Suddenly time quit lingering. Suddenly you canāt find my body, canāt bury what you canāt find. My final poem, I wrote years before my hour arrived. Suddenly my voice, thought voiceless because stateless, gave voice to a noisy world. Suddenly āa kite.ā Suddenly I.
Today we announce the launch of Poems for Palestine: Recent poems by nine Palestinian poets & actions you can take to stop genocide now. Please read and share as widely as you please!

This, from @gabrielletse_, is a marvel. Strange, seeing all the old fixations rendered so elegantly is visual language; also a delight, because the video is acute and generous and just a thoroughly impressive synthesis of imagery and argument š
