New Year by Zaina Hashem Beck (click through for thr rest): www.instagram.com/p/DEQfvmHSUF...

New Year
By Zeina Hashem Beck
Tell me about it, the year.
The year you almost shattered your shoulder. The year you spilled all that past & red wine on the kitchen floor. You sang in alleys, in cars, in nightmares where you looked for your love in dark clubs & shouted the wrong name. Tell me about the year. June gorged with afternoons & conversation.
January of chance. March of laughter.
July of bombs. Tell me how you refreshed the news every hour & couldn't keep up with October, with the dead who outgrew the living, how you lost your mind & met deadlines, how you marched or did not march,

Extremely moving memorial video for Gaza Soup Kitchen’s beloved Chef Mahmoud, assassinated by Israel as he was headed to north Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital. “With the grace of God I’ll continue this work. I swear what I wish from the bottom of my heart is to feed the entire north.”

I just received this. Haunting, powerful and heartbreaking words. I can’t wait to dive in and hear the poets at the reading next Monday. Free Palestine.

NPR also edited out the many times NBA poetry award finalists Lena Khalaf Tuffaha and Fady Joudah very intentionally used the word "genocide" in their interviews. As @intifadabatata.bsky.social notes, Palestinian permission to narrate remains "nonmetaphorical." mizna.org/mizna-online...

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row. “Those grinches who thinks they can disrupt the parade: it’s not going to happen,” Mayor Eric Adams said yesterday.

“The nonmetaphorical nature of our permission to narrate can be seen in the details of the post-National Book Award Nomination trajectory for both poets, with NPR censoring words such as ‘genocide’ in their coverage.”
