A poem for the ages.... From Poetry of Presence #poem #spider #refugees #fadyjoudah
Fady Joudah reading at a lectern. He is wearing a keffiyeh.
Fady Joudah’s book […] published by OutSpoken Press. Its colours are red, black, white and green.
One of many poems titled […] which is also the title of the book : [...] Suddenly I 'in a blaze' died. Suddenly time quit lingering. Suddenly you can't find my body, can't bury what you can't find. My final poem, I wrote years before my hour arrived. Suddenly my voice, thought voiceless because stateless, gave voice to a noisy world. Suddenly 'a kite’ Suddenly I.
Moving, sometimes angry, beautiful reading by #FadyJoudah last night for Awraq Festival facilitated by Sabrin Hasbun. Do not miss if you have the chance to see him tonight in Bristol and on Monday in Cardiff!!

is a stunning and powerful exploration of how the violence of Palestinian genocide travels beyond Gaza and the limits of language, seeping into mundane life."

Today's poem-a-day shared by the Academy of Am. Poets is "[...]" by #FadyJoudah.
"Their questions like a shovel
that doesn’t know what earth is,
but digging anyway.
[...]
And your answer comes:
'Things are a seasickness
and no land in sight.
Your peeping is no #witness.'"

Suddenly my voice,
thought voiceless
because stateless
gave voice
to a noisy world.
