“What we share illuminates what we do not.”
― Our Dead Behind Us: Poems
― Our Dead Behind Us: Poems
“Queerness is that thing that lets us feel that this world is not enough, that indeed something is missing, writes Jose Esteban Munoz, describing queerness not only as a set of acts or dispositions but an ideality … A loving recklessness, freely renouncing a reality that has never been home…
What if the first word hope utters is no ? What if this word is not only a negation but an opening? After all, if this word is forbidden, can any choice be free?
[Refusal] expresses our unwillingness to be conscripted to man’s project or world… the propertied earth. And if the first field of knowledge is the body, / no may be the sound of our deepest knowing, calling from the far side of the wall.
Gaza is devoted to rejection, wrote Mahmoud Darwish
hunger and rejection, thirst and rejection, displacement and rejection,
Torture and rejection, siege and rejection, death and rejection
Enemies might triumph over Gaza…
They might break its bones
They might implant tanks on the insides of its children and women.
They might throw it into the sea, sand or blood.
But it will not repeat lies and say “Yes” to invaders.”
…Setenced to this unlife, Gaza can only exist as no . This no is total; she is long past the appeasement or appeal. Gaza, called المقاومة أم, mother of resistance, daily births her refusal to succumb or disappear. The relationship of resistance to the people of Gaza] is that of skin to bones.”
