If you are one of the people in the last few days who said “It’s complicated. I’m still trying to learn what’s going on.” Or if you think a condemnation of Israel is anti-Semitic, please please please watch this if nothing else at all today.

We're pleased to announce that our 2023 – 2024 Poet-in-Residence will be Chelene Knight! We're very excited to get Chelene started working with mentorships for poets who have not yet published a full-length collection of their work. For more details, visit buff.ly/3ZWxp29

I wrote about the discourse surrounding Israel and Palestine, and why this moment requires compassion and intellectual honesty.

Hehe! Delighted 😊 Thanks so much Arc Poetry Magazine and jurors Sanna Wani, Jennifer Still, and Billeh Nickerson! And big ol’ thanks to Stuart Ross, my amazing editor and Feed Dog imprint champion at Anvil Press 🌞🚢🐟🌊 The best! 💙
