NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

What is anyone's voice worth if they won't speak out against genocide? There is nothing in culture that is untouched by the genocide and mass starvation being perpetrated against the Palestinians by the Israeli state. There is no inappropriate position from which to condemn it.

“I loved those poems that seemed so small on the page but that swelled in the mind.” RIP Louise Glück. When she won the Nobel Prize back in 2020 I was lucky enough to write about her poetry for @theindependent.bsky.social. Her words will live on.

Thea Hawlin: Louise Glück is a poet to guide us through our frightening world
At a time where the impending threat of winter looms large, where death feels evermore present, the Nobel Prize committee’s decision feels something like an honouring of hope
