Uncovering What Is Brave: A Remembrance of Brigit Pegeen Kelly by Joy Manesiotis and Maxine Scates - Plume plumepoetry.com/uncovering-wha…
Many thanks to Chard diNiord and Danny Lawless for publishing this essay by Joy Manesiotis and myself about our friend Brigit Pegeen Kelly. plumepoetry.com/uncovering-wha…
This inteview with @dlseuss by @biancastone for the latest issue of Poets & Writers is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
People in Gaza need food and water. Now! They need medicine and clothes. Now! Impose a ceasefire and end the siege. Now! Free the people of Palestine. Tomorrow! That is all people are asking for.
As @SenJeffMerkley notes, children in Gaza are having limbs amputated without anesthesia. Those kids are innocent, yet are being tormented because of a war that in practice is not against Hamas but against Gazans.

More than 23,000 people killed. 1.9 million displaced from their homes. Children starving to death. What’s going on RIGHT NOW in Gaza is a horrific humanitarian disaster and we cannot turn our backs on it. Congress must act.
What’s going on in Gaza right now is a humanitarian catastrophe. Children in Gaza are starving to death. More than 23,000 people in Gaza have been killed and more than 85% of the population displaced. Congress must take action.
Today marks 100 days in the Israel-Hamas war. I recently visited the Rafah Crossing and saw first-hand the badly broken system preventing life-saving aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. I’ve called for a ceasefire, which is critical to stopping this humanitarian catastrophe.
The suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza is nearly unimaginable. I reiterate my call for a ceasefire and a massive increase in humanitarian aid, both of which are needed to end this devastating crisis. oregonlive.com/opinion/2024/0…
It is upsetting to me that when I try to talk about COVID with many friends and peers, I'm met with a range of flustered, blinking reactions and excuses as to why they're not taking precautions. Nobody can even bear talking honestly about it anymore.

@NorthDakotaJane Thanks for engaging with my work, Jane. I read some of your poems. Yes, we are very different writers, but I read you with openness and admiration for your own grief and struggles.
Yes, I know that Diane Seuss won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, but this is not only NOT a sonnet, it is not any kind of poetry at all. It is prose.

Great books should have multiple lives. I dislike how in our culture an excellent book makes its appearance, and then people move on to the next thing. If you reread a book, tell the writer, or at least tell someone else
The only solution now is to create a new international body that does not include the USA or the UK. Stop the genocide! Be human again!
palestinians said isrl's military violence would worsen just before "truce" & that it would be even more violent after. evry inconceivably brutal day, they predict with accuracy what comes next BECAUSE this annihilation, quick or slow, is the ongoing practice of isrl's occupation

1- Dear friends, I made it to Egypt today morning with my wife and three children. My heart and mind are not yet safe as my parents and siblings and their little kids continue to be in danger. Just in the past 24 hours, Israeli killed more than 700 people.
I’m relieved by the reunification of Palestinian, Israeli, American, Thai & Filipino families. All hostages, including those arbitrarily detained, must be released. We cannot bomb our way to peace—we must keep pushing for diplomatic solutions. We need a permanent ceasefire NOW.
Doctors should not have to beg for a ceasefire. Nurses should not have to beg for a ceasefire. As a nurse, I cannot imagine the difficulty of taking care of patients while being bombed. It does not have to be like this. Where is the collective humanity?
URGENT: Hospitals in Gaza have been under bombardment the past 24 hrs. Al-Shifa Hospital complex, where our staff are still working, has been hit several times, resulting in multiple deaths & injuries. The attacks against hospitals must STOP. We NEED an immediate ceasefire.…
not everyday your first full-length poetry book is reviewed in Publishers Weekly, especially as a first-gen Mexican American...!
Excited abt this great review of "Bad Mexican, Bad American" in Publishers Weekly!
The death toll in Gaza has now exceeded 10,000 people, nearly half of which are children, and tens of thousands have been injured. Hospitals have been bombed, meaning many of those injured lack access to care. This must end. #CeasefireNOW
The U.S. government should not be funding Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people.
