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)

WOUND ERASURE
       
    [WAITING ROOM] 



before I got here         I was a morbid essay    though writing occupies me well enough

                                                                    [              before it crushes under the weight of itself     ]


he [psychiatrist] doesn’t believe women’s pain             ready for the worst         scrapes out the bog


                                                                    [              how would you rate your pain on a scale of     ]


the situation, then: to go bash the impression that my nerves were the bog


                                                                    [                         I just don’t try to be happy                        ]


coming out of bog      bog occupying body                body as allegory to implode


                                                                    [I was before & coming out of numbness, wanting       ]


a clap                 an on-off switch          chalk to the scrape       the guts to do it


                                                                    [                         by god I’ll scrape out of this year             ]


the bog              my remembered life: stalling     the slow calcification of




WOUND ERASURE
       
    [DAY OF REST]



what’s going to happen next?

                                            [                          debrief me                             ]

undress a moment      at the mouth

without much adornment

                                            [          clean & minimal as a hatchet            ]

gone now          blood & fire in a cup

curtain drawn

                                            [             my face a forensic detail                 ]

yep         everything is fine!

I want a party!                 gown & tie

quiet, clean         in a little nondescript house

                                            [                for medical & forensic purposes]

what a wish

                                            to be alone

                                            [ & everything

slinging the mouth—                                                                                   ] 



WOUND ERASURE
       
    [PRIZEFIGHTER]




                                           I like being external

taking off my shirt          all clear from

bronze-stained cold

call me love                     take my perpetual

infantilized hook             I’m fragile on my own

I get petulant                   trusted to a herd

a little kid                          tapping the prize

God knows                       I’ve got to steal

while everybody              looks away

call me                               locus of looking

call me                               wishing jaw

seeing is really just         tapping a belief

fast enough                      though practically useless
