Shannon Clinton-Copeland/@XBagginses's review of @LewisBuxton93's 'Mate Arias' is a genuine & thorough look at a collection of poems that explores something that seems often forgotten in poetry. Friendship. Just 'being mates'. https://t.co/vStfxwHSK8

Israel just assassinated the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza: fearless journalists and cameramen reporting the truth amid genocide. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Where are the Western journalists? Will they condemn this, or choose silence and complicity?

Write poetry. Replace verbs with extinct birds. Copy nothing. Edit with your non-dominant foot. Read aloud to your toaster. Walk like a moth. Think like a locked drawer. Live entirely in the subjunctive. Publish through interpretive dance.
Become a great writer. Read poetry. Practice daily. Copy out masterpieces. Edit everything. Read out loud. Learn rhetoric. Long walks. Think deeply. Live life to the full. Practice some more. Publish.

these same children who are starving to death right before our eyes tried holding press conferences begging us to save them in November 2023 and the world did nothing. I’ll genuinely never get over having to write these sentences as long as I live….the heart atrophies.

You: - Hosted the head of the Israeli air force last week - Are currently training Israeli troops in the UK - Said Israel has the right to cut off water in Gaza (a war crime) - Haven't stopped arms sales - Haven't even recognised Palestine as a state You have enabled a genocide.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
