Issue 11: Fall 2024

Laocoön, at the top reads “Where any view of Money exists Art cannot be carried on but War only.” In this spirit of Blake, rather than putting out a new issue of poetry, the Tygers of Tyger Quarterly have put together links to writing, and other medias, that have figured as meaningful reading, writing, listening as we continue the fight to end Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine.

1. My Palestinian Poem that “The New Yorker” Wouldn’t Publish by Fady Joudah (from LARB)
2. No Human Being Can Exist + No Human Being Can Exist by Saree Makdisi (from N+1)
3. Under the Jumbotron + William Blake’s ‘Laocoön’: Why this poet’s engraving reads like a protest poster” by Anahid Nersessian (from LRB + The Yale Review) 
4. On Israel and Lebanon: A Response to Adrienne Rich from One Black Woman by June Jordan (from New York War Crimes)
5. Genocide Leaves No Illusions in Tact by Yasmeen Daher (from Verso)
6. Can You Tell Us Why This Is Happening: Testimonies from Gaza (from N+1)
7. Landing: Skateboarding in Palestine by Maen Hammad (Bonus Documentary: Epicly Palestined: The Birth of Skateboarding in the West Bank) (from N+1 + SkatePal)
8. Palestine is Everywhere, and It Is Making Us More Free: More Letters from The Apocalypse by George Abraham and Sarah Aziza (from The Nation)
9. Liberation Pedagogy at the People’s University for Gaza by Amir Marshi (from MQR)
10. “We,” A Poem for Palestine by Ghayath Almadhoun (from Outlook India) 
11. Resources Towards a Free Palestine (from Mizna)
12. Crimes Against Language: The Moral Truth of Israel’s War Against Gaza is not Difficult to Grasp by Sarah Aziza (from The Baffler)
13. Israelism: The Awakening of Young American Jews dir.  Erin Axelman and Sam Eilertsen
14. [excerpt from Palestine (+100)] Editor’s Introduction by Basma Ghalayini +  “The Curse of the Mud Ball Kid” by Mazen Maarouf (translated by Jonathan Wright)
15. If I Must Die by Refaat Alareer (from In These Times)

ADITI MACHADO









WHAT TREES DO YOU PREFER IN THE CENTRE OF BOULEVARDS?



Gulmohar.




WHAT TYPE OF READING DO YOU DO ON TRAINS (OR AEROPLANES)?




On my next flight I’ll read E. M. Cioran’s A Short History of Decay (tr. Richard Howard). It’s good to read something with the sort of title that will deter conversation with fellow travelers.







WHAT BUTTERFLIES DO YOU THINK GIVE THE MOST SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCES?



Little white ones, little yellow ones.


WHAT MOVIE DO YOU WATCH IN SECRET?



None. That’s not how you watch movies.


WHAT LITERARY WORKS DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST UNDER-RATED?




Translated ones.







WHAT COLOURS DO MOST FOR YOU AFTER SIX P.M.?



In the US Midwest, peak summer: there’s a particular kind of yellow-orange you get when a large cloud has blocked the sun. Winter: fresh snow white. Fall: violet. Spring: lime, almost neon, green.



WHAT ANIMALS DO YOU PREFER TO HUMAN BEINGS?



Cats. 

 




WHAT IS THE PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR STATE OF MIND (MOOD) WHEN READING FICTION AND YOUR MIND WHEN READING HISTORY? 



There isn’t one.


CAN YOU HEAR ANYTHING IN A SEASHELL OTHER THAN THE ROAR OF THE OCEAN?


I’m not sure if I hear even the roar. I thought that was a myth?






WOULD WINGS BE AN IMPROVEMENT FOR THE HUMAN BODY? 



Yes, in the sense that we would destroy ourselves more easily. No, in the sense that we would also destroy the rest of the world even more quickly than we already are.



WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO MOST FREQUENTLY?



I usually listen to one song at a time, five at the most, on repeat. Right now the song is “Heaven or Las Vegas” by the Cocteau Twins. Other times I cannot tell you the song.







WHAT TWO HISTORICAL CHARACTERS WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING TOGETHER?



Bring together to meet in person? I don’t think MLK Jr. and BR Ambedkar ever met each other in person; maybe they would’ve liked to.



WHAT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING DO YOU WISH TO BRING BACK FROM HISTORICAL OBSCURITY?



The Regency era cravat! 






WHAT BUILDING DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD?



I don’t know but a bird probably built it.






WHAT SIZE CITY DO YOU THINK THE MOST DESIRABLE?



I like the size of all cities with good public transit options.





WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE ESSENCE OF FEMININITY?



Probably just feeling/wanting to be feminine. Or empty and odorless like other “ities” until you dress it up how you want to.


WHAT WORK FROM A PREVIOUS CENTURY WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE WRITTEN?



The definitive recipe book of some cuisine or other.






WHAT FORM OF AFTER LIFE — IF ANY — DO YOU ANTICIPATE?



Just decomp.

WHAT ANIMAL WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE USED AS A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IN OUR DOWNTOWN STREETS?




Many and festooned ants.







WHAT ARE THE MOST OVER-RATED LUXURIES?


Spas.


WHAT IS THE ONE POEM OF WILLIAM BLAKE’S YOU WOULD PICK TO EMBLEMATIZE YOUR AESTHETIC PREFERENCES (AND, OF COURSE, WHY)?



“The Fly”! I can’t explain it better than the way “want” reads to me as both “lack” and “desire” in “If thought is life / And strength & breath: / And the want / Of thought is death;”







WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS INTERVIEW?



What berry would you fill a bathtub with for the occasional berry bath?
