Issue 11: Fall 2024
This issue of Tyger Quarterly is coming out on the 267th birthday of William Blake. Around 1826 Blake printed his 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.

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)

SPACE SYNTAX

 

The integration value of a line

As I went to sleep
in a glacial year
I discovered the axis

I discovered the crevice
as I went to sleep
in a glacial year:

light teemed
with light
against itself,
a lean-to curve
leaned slightly
against the weed
in the weed's
reflection

Once I felt a color like a question:
a pinhole

with a black
beyond.

In time's
low trees,
I grew large
and weary
with supposition:

a lake in a lake
a sound in a sound:

Is proportional to its depth

Did I know the storm
was here

but could not sense
it. Perhaps

to release the sky
from what binds it
to its blue
nature,
perhaps a flake

from the net
air fell
without landing

From all other lines in the network

The glass canopy

The pool
and its thin
but sure
veins of feeling:

a brightness
bent into the form
of a screen,

a space practiced
into a place

barreling inwards

I ran a hand over a woman

I ran a hand over a sense
I could have

I pictured a node
lit from within,

an edge lit,
from within;

And is a sort of generalization

And lacking space
everywhere,
the weed was pushed out
and fell,

the canopy fell
over a hush
we call a space
for breathing

Once I pulled the night
over my head
to forget the room

and all of this,
I mean,
a room

Of the concept of average distance

And looking out of

I felt a sense beginning

I didn't know whose
I thought

it belonged to a ray;

it must have belonged
to a ray:

we were standing
with a field between us;

the field was wet.

It was hard to know
you

The ray

The wet field

It was hard to know
you from the wet
field, from the ray
