Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

Honoured (Canadian spelling!) to have been invited to inaugurate the Shakir-Ellenbogen Lecture Series at the Center for Arab American Studies, University of Michigan-Dearborn. I'll be talking and reading from my new MS of poems and my novel MS.

We are deeply concerned by a State’s use of the word “witch” to attack a UN expert in her report to the #UNGA80 3rd Committee. Misogynistic gendered insults have no place in international dialogue and undermine women’s equality and the integrity and independence of UN mandates.

Le musée de Morlaix est fermé depuis 2017 avec des travaux très ralentis et une date de réouverture qui n’est même pas annoncée. Le musée de Brest vient de fermer jusqu’en 2029 (date annoncée). Reste-t-il des musées d’art dans le Finistère ou ont-ils tous été victimes du désengagement total?

Brilliant work by Carola Luther, whom I have always admired.

I just saw the line, "Your body is opium and you are its only true smoker" in a poem and it reminded me to be grateful that I never did an MFA degree in poetry or any other kind of writing. #workshopclichés
