La police chinoise harcèle ma soeur avec qui je n'ai plus de contact depuis février 2019 pour que j'envoie la copie de mon passeport français. Ma soeur me demande ça en utilisant le WeChat d'1 amie, disant que c'est le commissariat qui le veut et faut je l'envoie vite et claire.

Today’s poem is by Abdukhebir Qadir Erkan. He grew up in Khotan, in the south of China’s #Uyghur region, & in 2016 left to study in Egypt. In ‘17, word spread that Uyghurs in Egypt would be deported to certain detention in China, & Erkan left for Turkey, where he now studies. 1/2

ATUSH Seydulla Firdews tr. Joshua L. Freeman I sighed, remembering a girl, as I passed through Atush. The mountains are high, vast, they lie stretched out, filled with longing, shouting silently. For a girl I longed then harder and deeper than the mountains. #Uyghur #poetry

A remarkable early poem by Ekhmetjan Osman, the brilliant, enigmatic pioneer of Uyghur modernist poetry. "Some have died but their unclosing eyes remained alive. The words they left unspoken pooled there as blood." —Ekhmetjan Osman, "Regret" #Uyghur #poetry

Merdan Ehet'éli, "Common Night" This is a night made from words. This is a night poured into our spines like pig iron. This is a night that puts us up in slippers and in our bedrooms inside books. This is a night that makes our noses shed hellfruit leaves. bit.ly/3bnrqth
