Two of Gboyega’s poems are published in the June issue of @PoetryFound. I wrote a remembrance piece for the issue. My bro, I wish you could see all the places you work will take you. Big love to the team at POETRY for helping to make one of Gboyega’s dreams come true.

The politicians condemning Netanyahu's invasion of Rafah are the same ones who insisted that cutting off food, water, and electricity to Gaza back in October was the the right thing to do.

MORE SKY is 1 year old today! It’s been the strangest, saddest year of my life. Amidst all the funerals I attended, the book took me to some cool places. Big love to everyone who’s connected with the work thus far.

Israel killed my friend, the drone camera operator so there will not be aerial footage to show the massive destruction on the main way in the middle area. Israel killed all the journalists with drones or intercepted and stole their drones as you saw before. But I’m trying to show you with my phone and camera. It’s all about destruction, it will take years to rebuild all of this. People are exhausted everyone is tired, we’ve lost a lot.
