Download your free copy of the anthology "Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire," which I had the honor of co-editing in 2022. Light in Gaza explores the critical role of Gaza in Palestinian identity, history, and the struggle for liberation.

about six months ago on the old bad place, @toddedillard.bsky.social shared a meme that included a phrase somewhere along the lines of "like a bad review for God," and it immediately inspired me to write a poem. Here it is today in the Indianapolis Review; my thanks to the editors <3
Yelp! Review for God Despite omnipotence, largely unhelpful. Created the Tazmanian Devil only to not allow people to pet it, which goes against good customer service. Entirely absent managerial style allows both workers and customers to run rampant in the store with no rules. Though I admit the lack of rules quite fun as it allowed me to steal large quantities of strawberry-kiwi kombucha. I asked to see a manager and an old man told me to confess everything I’d done wrong. What the hell, dude? And what’s with the wine on Sunday morning anyway? I was 14. I can only hope this other “Hell” location I’ve heard so much about has better wifi. Apparently I’ve been pre-banned from the “Heaven” one for kissing boys in the vegetable aisle here, though why did this God fellow care about me then? Unprofessional. Gross. Still, 4 out of 5 stars for inventing saliva between us.

My flash “Seventeen” is live now in The Baltimore Review. Many thanks to @bdiehl.bsky.social for giving it a home.

And a big shout out to @smokelong.bsky.social for their excellent SmokeLong Summer workshop whence this piece first emerged.

"Oh rascal children of Gaza. You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window. You who filled every morning with rush and chaos. You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony. Come back, and scream as you want and break all the vases. Steal all the flowers. Come back…Just come back.." - Khaled Juma, a Palestinian poet from Gaza.

A barn-burner from the editor of Jewish Currents:

“I wanted desperately to keep these images separate—to hold close the liberatory metaphor and banish the violent reality. By the time I began to accept that these were pictures of the same event, I was distraught”
“We Cannot Cross Until We Carry Each Other”
