Helen Hennessy Vendler (1933–2024) no reader, no critic, no teacher has meant more to me. her inexhaustible work is our common bounty; getting to know her was my inconceivably good luck bostonglobe.com/2024/04/23/met…

حسام شبات@HossamShabat·
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

"...a painstaking formalism, a commitment to steadfastness and sobriety, as in his sonnets, which boast tattoo-precise lines and the willful sturdiness of gravestones..." Thank you @cspaide! These words on At the End of the World There Is a Pond are so generous + insightful!!!

before I bounce from this website for the near (or far) future, two last things to share about Helen Vendler. I wrote one of a few remembrances of her in the latest issue of the Wallace Stevens Journal:

Writers Against the War on Gaza
This October, @MLAnews leadership blocked a BDS vote, which, they argued, “would potentially lead to a drop-off in revenue in states with anti-BDS laws.” In response, seven MLA members have issued a statement demanding a BDS vote.
