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.

KNOWLEDGE

for Hillary Gravendyk

The naturalist lives.

A funeral, a little green desk.

I first appeared altered.

THE FOUGHT-OVER

BPK's "Dead Doe: I," 54-58

Not that not a shape. Unwilling outline and yes:
refuse. Leaves from a stag. Refuse, I thrive, refuse.
Soothes you not rain not fate from fading
our inherited stain.

Tears are as impersonal as a storm on a bee, and as large.

Not anxious me
stuck in what I am.

ABOUT ROSES

RMR’s “First Elegy,” 68-75

False—nothing natural falls from the sky,
breaks on quickly forgotten paths,
interprets thorns but no other meaningless
flowers, strangers as they are to a clean memory;
we become nothing at first
outside our limits, our calm breaths, but carry
intimate exchanges as charms.
I remember this, sleeping with no dreams.
