Landscape experiments

Landed in Brussels Monday for two months at Passa Porta. Paints and pencils with a side order of poetry.

As a co-founder of Orphism, a movement that fused Cubism’s structural rigor with a vibrant, chromatic dynamism, Sonia Delaunay reshaped the dialogue between art, technology, and everyday life. open.substack.com/pub/rogueart...

Naomi Klein: we are starting to define elements of fascism, but what does anti-fascism look like? www.equator.org/articles/sur...

Prof. of History Diana Allan's 'Partition' at the Montreal International Documentary Festival: "From 1917 to 1948, Palestine was under British occupation. During this time, numerous films were shot with the intent to document the Empire’s colonial operations." ridm.ca/en/films/par...

Saeed Teebi: "Literature does not come before humans." A powerful testament to writing and thinking while being Palestinian. #identity #freepalestine www.thegrindmag.ca/literature-d...

We are honoured to share Archiving Gaza in the Present, edited by Dina Matar & Venetia Porter. The book reveals how conflict erases lives and memory, even as archiving, art-making and testimony endure. Learn more or order your own copy on our website.

Daniel Trilling (@trillingual.bsky.social) spoke to over two dozen current and former journalists at the BBC, from frontline reporters to senior editors, who believe that the ”corporation mishandled its response to the Gaza war.” Read his in-depth report: www.equator.org/articles/ins...

Honoured (Canadian spelling!) to have been invited to inaugurate the Shakir-Ellenbogen Lecture Series at the Center for Arab American Studies, University of Michigan-Dearborn. I'll be talking and reading from my new MS of poems and my novel MS.

We are deeply concerned by a State’s use of the word “witch” to attack a UN expert in her report to the #UNGA80 3rd Committee. Misogynistic gendered insults have no place in international dialogue and undermine women’s equality and the integrity and independence of UN mandates.

Finistère, July 2024.

I’ll be reading my newest poems at Watermelon Seeds 2 Festival, a hybrid event broadcast from Vancouver Island University, Nanaimo BC, Oct. 11. Please join us tomorrow! My reading takes place at 1:25 pm Pacific (4:25 pm Eastern)

Save the night trains.

Looking forward to starting Saeed Teebi’s ‘You Will Not Kill Our Imagination.’

Next project for me: artist’s book to be produced this winter during my residency in Brussels. Inspired by Etel Adnan’s leporellos.

Mahmoud Darwish 13 March 1941 - 9 August 2008

Some re-reads are more satisfying than others, yes?

Le musée de Morlaix est fermé depuis 2017 avec des travaux très ralentis et une date de réouverture qui n’est même pas annoncée. Le musée de Brest vient de fermer jusqu’en 2029 (date annoncée). Reste-t-il des musées d’art dans le Finistère ou ont-ils tous été victimes du désengagement total?

If I could touch it the light would be almost warm as you following shape close to the shapes you have been as you slept. Brilliant work by Carola Luther, whom I have always admired.

I just saw the line, "Your body is opium and you are its only true smoker" in a poem and it reminded me to be grateful that I never did an MFA degree in poetry or any other kind of writing. #workshopclichés

Institute for Palestine Studies: Honoring Professor Walid Khalidi at 100: A Life of Scholarship, Integrity, and Dedication to Palestine 100 years old today. How much have I learned from his writings? Immeasurable. www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.

A Hebrew University poll shows an overwhelming majority of Jewish Israelis agree with the genocidal idea that there are “no innocents in Gaza.” Read here: mondoweiss.net/2025/07/poll...

If I were a Liberal MP in anything other than a very safe riding, I'd either be organizing a caucus revolt, or I'd be dusting off my resume right now, because Carney is not the gifted politician that he thinks he is. Every day I see more people expressing regret for voting for him. Awful PM.

Ziadé currently and Kureishi is next. #reading

Right?! That is an amazing book.

Compare and contrast: Zohran Mamdani vs the 19th century colonial regurgitations of Mark J Carney.

Propaganda roll out.

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.
