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.

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)

TAKE OFF



Hold me again I told my clothes
I had a t-shirt I tried to convince him
Against sexually assaulting or raping me
I had a new car, too
The only thing I could think of doing
My sweatshirt lies down beside me
To my underwear that plans
For easy escape, I call to tell
“It’s okay, Pookie, I’ll come get you”
I took time off work, I saw a therapist,
I went back to work, not myself for weeks
Someone kind and sympathetic set me off
I screamed, “LET GO OF ME!!!!”
I would not have floated back home
Were it not for my clothes and bones
Hold me again I told my clothes
