Kind of hilarious that the israelis spent 20 months screaming at protesters "why don't you go to Gaza and see what Palestinians are really like?" only for them to intercept a ship of people doing just that and forcing them to watch October 7th footage.

Americans telling Mexicans to get over the loss of California because it happened two hundred plus years ago, but support Israel because it was their land 2,000 years ago is simply peak comedy.

Today, I am imagining all the #poems the Palestinian #poets could create if they didn't have to write about violence. Such a rich culture, full of #love for the land, but the poems, too, are under occupation, haunted by houses there's no return to and missing family members

"Poems, even when narrative, do not resemble stories. All stories are about battles, of one kind or another, which end in victory or defeat. Poems, regardless of any outcome, cross the battlefields, tending the wounded" --John Berger

This #poem every day
I really love Jack Gilbert's poems for their quietness. I wish there could be more future Jack Gilbert poems.
