As we continue to critique poetry's entanglement with empire, with power, and with ferocious capital, it is imperative to find poetry unafraid of telling, not showing-- poetry which begins to forge transnational possibilities for solidarity, support, and exchange. From Chile to Palestine, Chicago to Beirut, the poets in this episode name and attack empire in its many forms and its complex webs. People of revolts know how to use the language of revolts; today my angry Palestinian ass stands with Chile and with those rising up against neoliberalism and all its claws. Yalla. Throw a stone today.
