Here is Haia in Gaza holding a copy of her poetry pamphlet despite it all.
A massive thank you to the team at MAP who helped get it into her hands and to @outspokenpress.bsky.social for all the labour that went in to putting Haia’s words together.
I can’t tell you how seeing this made me feel.

I’m currently reading Samantha Harvey’s Orbital and it’s blowing my mind. The elegance and richness of the prose, the interplay between narrative and thought. The inquiry into human connectivity, our dying planet, our dying bodies…it’s remarkable.

RIP Nikki Giovanni. We were blessed to hear her read at Out-Spoken in March earlier this year. An incredible experience.
