Once a bustling congregation of Arabs in the heart of New York, the city's Syrian quarter has now all but vanished, save for a few relics. @zeynjoukhadar.bsky.social reflects on its history and how it impacted his work as a writer 👇

Last week, the Smithsonian cancelled next month's 2023 Asian American Literature Festival (#AALF) without warning or explanation. Today I signed an open letter together with the partners, organizers, & participants of the festival to ask for accountability & answers. https://linktr.ee/aalfcollective

I could listen to @garthgreenwell.bsky.social write about literally anything all day long, but--particularly as I'm getting back into vocal training as a bass--reading him on opera is a special treat.

sometimes u just need to lay down in a quiet room and listen to John Cage's Lecture on Nothing while the cicadas thrum outside and the room slowly darkens. asmr before asmr existed i swear

i know it's overdue but i FINALLY got around to making a page on my website for my multidisciplinary stuff, like the art show I did in Corsica with my partner last year (photos!!) & the adaptation I'm working on for @NoorTheatre of THIRTY NAMES 😻 https://www.zeynjoukhadar.com/multidisciplinary-work/

Book lovers, NYC's beloved Yu & Me Books, our city's first Asian American woman-owned bookstore, suffered terrible damage from a fire above their shop on July 4. They've had to cease operations for now. Can you please give to help them through this difficult time?

Okay y'all, last go around promoting this, but if you happen to be in the NY/Brooklyn area tomorrow, I'll be reading with some of the dopest writers around (game changers in the making!) at Unnameable books at 7pm! Hope to see y'all there for a night of mingling and verse! #author #authors

Since I’m here now, I figure this essay is a good introduction to my work and what I’m about. Took a year to write, tho some pieces were knocking around way back in 2019, I think. Sometimes things take as long as they take. https://electricliterature.com/my-transition-will-never-be-finished/
