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)

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)

OBJECT REALITY


The tree becomes a tree only when I say so.
                The branch comes into view when I say branch.
So, I say it again, and again: branch, branch.
               It’s the tree. Singing through and out me.
Like an angel. Spreading its wings wide. And green.
               A hundred futures sparking without me.

Then, I’m astride your waist, shirtless, grinning.
               I say: you. The difference between first person
and second collapses. All my old shadows
               disperse in the light. My new shadow, I could call
it anything. And all my dead are my dead.
               My dead: a flurry of years. I’m singing.
My shoulders arc into two clear beams.
               And I become nothing like what I saw.







SOME ODYSSEY



Gold, in the distance, the leaves, the leaves, the.
Vision stickering together two operatic sets: wildwood foregrounded by a glass cage on wheels.
What is inside is inside is me.
Eyes bloom on my palms: everything I hold I see.


Sunlight roves over the windshield. Brittle, refracting into intangible dust, dust.
A hand grips a thigh.
A cerberus barks, in someone’s yard, somewhere up on the hill, corded over its own sound, the wind’s
            metallic whip.
Electricity chirrups through me.


Around ankles denim shorts crush.
My face in his lap. Palm on the back of my head.
As the cars drive past.
As the cars.



            Horizon.



O horizon.
