I wrote this poem to raise money for a Palestinian family. The Rasmy in this poem is not a "persona," he is a person whose family is starving. Please consider donating if you are able. Link in the comments.

I wrote this about a real Palestinian family. They are not a poetic construction. And they are starving to death. You can help stop that. Consider donating if you are able (link in the comments).

My colleague and friend, @lemonylemons.bsky.social generously invited me to speak with her NeuroHumanities group, Intersecting Minds, March 21 @1pm. The event is virtual (and free). If you have the time, I'd love to see you there. Link in the comments.
