Those days, the world was as quiet and as loud as it has ever been: dreams and relationships grew permeable, and loneliness itself became a traveling companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThis collection is a photograph, a smudge of moment overexposed. In twelve scenes, it entangles solemn moments of reality with jubilant moments of surreality, mournful recollections of the past, and ecstatic prayers toward our deserved collective future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ejacob wolos (he\/they) is a queer and Jewish poet and scholar, a fiercely interdisciplinary artist-activist, and a zealous community organizer and educator. Their writing is most intimately concerned with things such as the distortion of memory, migration, vibrant materialism, and the discovery of kinship, liberation, love, and joy in the swirling disorientation of existence. His writing, thinking, and activism is inspired by diasporic Yiddish modernist internationalist poets of the early 20th century in conversation with contemporary Palestinian poets, Kashmiri poets, queer poets, and all those who use language as a reclamation. Among the many ancestors of revolution that haunt wolos’s every action, word, and movement, Ram Dass is always nearby, guiding with the quote, “we are all just walking each other home.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"jacob wolos","offers":[{"title":"Chapbook","offer_id":50427325907259,"sku":"WITNJW","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital Download (PDF)","offer_id":50427325940027,"sku":"WITNJWe","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0062\/4420\/4614\/files\/WITNESSfront.png?v=1752255369","url":"https:\/\/bottlecap.press\/products\/witnjw","provider":"Bottlecap Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
