When WE get The Machine™️, there'll be a new Chavisa Woods story in @EvergreenReview every week 🖤

I wrote about Lebanon for The Evergreen Review: evergreenreview.com/read/stronghol… @EvergreenReview

Finally watched Alien: Romulus, and have all the thoughts, more later. But here's something I wrote about all our potential space travel and dystopia, in "A Manifesto," in @EvergreenReview evergreenreview.com/read/a-manifes…

Excited to see this article out, finally. Written with so much clarity and rhetorical vigour. Phenomenal. Unforgettable. @huma_africa @UCT_news @mfundozwane @gib

“The blue monkeys in Minoan frescoes never demand contemplation or veneration. They turn their backs when they see you emerge from the palace, painted in red from top to toe, and swing off among clouds . . . .” —Up now: “Blue Monkeys” by David Kinloch. evergreenreview.com/read/blue-monk…

If you're curious about my work, this, in @EvergreenReview, is the best introduction: "A Manifesto." "What does an election yield if the left has already surrendered its core, when it’s too terrified to speak of its ideology?" evergreenreview.com/read/a-manifes…

“There was a picture. A woman. A stranger. We stared at each other. She was an Amazigh woman from Morocco’s Middle Atlas. . .” —New at Evergreen: “On the foreignness of familiarity” by Amina Alaoui Soulimani. Art by Cindy Rehm. evergreenreview.com/read/on-the-fo…

“Bury me silently, for I’m the wild, thorn flower Of the shrubbery savannah. Throw me in the wetlands with fungus and moss, Preserved in clay like a toddler” —Up now: “Rose’s note” and four more poems by Vonani Bila. Art by @Lebohang_Kganye. evergreenreview.com/read/she-forge…

Many thanks to @EvergreenReview for the work with this piece about labor and race and historical rage. 🙏🏾 ❤️

“In the first two hours moving among the shrieking pipes from where I mixed the mortar, I hit my head on various beams, tanks, or screaming pipes more times than I had ever hit my head in my life...” —“Heaven Knows” by @edpavlic. Art by Thomas Hart Benton. evergreenreview.com/read/heaven-kn…

“Come and enjoy my meal; Share in the roast meat of my kill. Share in the wine of my grapes; But first, plant the seed with me, Join me too in the weeding . . . .” Up now: “Share in my suffering” & three more poems by Nelson Ratau. Art by Ashley Walters. evergreenreview.com/read/martyred-…

“Straining on the toilet one leg in the air Struggling to pass another globe of blood Asshole in full grin like the jagged mouth of a Child eating strawberries . . .” —“Sonnet About Rectal Gonorrhea” & more poems by Adam Spiegelman. Art by Henrique Neves. evergreenreview.com/read/sonnet-i-…
