in light of the controversy this book has garnered, I thought I'd share this video we made a while ago that shows footage and photos of the actual workshops we conducted in Gaza. You can get a copy at any bookseller near you or online. 100% of proceeds go to the writers themselves and to Palestine Writes Literature Festival. Neither I nor Huzama (Arabic editor) receive any material compensation whatsoever from the sale of this book.

This essay is utterly amazing "This kind of sight recognizes the limitation of pure perception, and the limitations of the seer, and makes one aware of a reality beyond perception, a spiritual reality. "
New Verse Review@newversereview

What are poets for in times of distraction? Of dehumanization? Ryan Wilson helps us answer these perennial, but never more pressing, questions.👇 The poet "must put aside preconceived notions and systems of thought and welcome the stranger that is each being and each moment..."

Silence is not the same as gone. The story of the Thibodaux Massacre has been buried for over a century — and I am honored to help bring it back to the light as the voice of Thibodeauxville - the Story of the Thibodaux Massacre: Race, Riot and Resilience. This is what art is intended to do. #ThibodauxMassacre @thibodeauxvillefilm

was reading this, and the first few lines reminded me of that line in beloved that goes something like "love is or it ain't. thin love ain't love at all."

If you watch the Oscars on Sunday, you're going to see a LOT of accolades for Sinners. All earned, but I want to take a minute to point out the preacher, Jedidiah, is played by Saul Williams. It's a small part, but look him up and realize what an absolute legend he is.
