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.

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)

HOW I TELL THE STORY NOW



When I was new, I entered a small room in a small house up on a hill and full of light. Everything was temporary, not clean, but un-dirtied. The weather was of time never passing. The weather is like this a lot now, this time where everything rushes past. How I tell the story now the weather had never been like that before. I was body-only, I put on my boots and went to work. I painted a white wall white again.


The clouds split. The sky was too blue and I flew across town in a car with broken brakes. Nothing ended badly, only because nothing ended.


I entered the room again to find a dead fox, a dead dog, stuffed, still, standing, no smell. I was not like them. I could come and go, make mistakes. This, I chose to do. Miss-taking. I was not so good at going. That choice was made for me. Still, I was given promise, so much of it, and for years it cursed me like formaldehyde, cool whiff of future held at arm’s length. Nothing was promised to me, nothing like what I wanted, the craftsman’s sure removal of my guts.





DESIRE



I imagine you worry
about what I want
and what you can’t
give me. And lately
I dream to be monkish
about love. Maybe
that means I am
hiding. When something
is hidden, do you get to keep it
like a secret? Hot on the neck?
If only I could be granted
the privilege of an
undershirt. A way to be
so close to you.
