Posting about such things feels more grotesque than usual at this point in history, and still, I wanted to let you know, especially those of you stateside, that my 2020 novel(ish), Yes, I Am A Destroyer, has been published across the pond by the excellent Litmus Press who have produced a stunning book with the brilliant art of Hazem Harb gracing its cover.
The 2020 edition remains available to buy in the UK and Europe from its original publisher, MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE, and this new version is now available in the rest of the world.
I conceived of the book as fiction, and maintain that that’s what it is, although great swathes of it seem to assume the guise of poetry – the sentence, not to mention its subject, can be far too sure of itself can’t it? I’m not sure there’s any point trying to say what it’s ‘about’ - beyond a carrier bag for the first 37 years of my life and an experiment in undoing the ‘I’ - but I hope some of you will read it.
I hope more though that some of you will materiality support Palestinian life in Gaza by donating money to the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (@apnorg on Instagram) a green resistance movement working towards reviving cars for farmland by building food sovereignty.
