"Since syntax" "grading sibilances into proper whistle" SUCH an honour to receive this well-crafted poem from my dear dear friend ❤️‍🔥

I have a prose poem about a Corot painting in the tenth anniversary issue of wilderness. This poem is part of a project about ekphrasis I’m beginning to work on.

one of two poems in Mizna 26.1: Kindred ❤️‍🔥 this poem began as an elegy for mahmoud darwish but once broached, the grief kept pouring. gratitude to moheb soliman, nour hussein and lana barkawi @miznaarabart.bsky.social for their belief in my poems and insights along the process ❤️‍🔥

We are officially over a week in - but there's still time to pledge support for The Sameer Project! open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/products/sea...

rating novels by superstar poets based on titles ONLY. -martyr! by kaveh akbar 8/10. nice use of punctuation. a thing i never say. -good girl by aria aber 3/10. it's giving publisher's choice. sorry queen. -emperor of gladness by ocean vuong 100/10. man, i would not have guessed that's a place.

every day i hate punctuation more stop clarifying meaning let me be confused let me delight you in sleights of hand

i’m sorry but those white devils popped off with rocky road to dublin
