Just out on Aljazeera --my mournful meditation on Adornos prophetic soul that To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric--what could he mean by that? I ponder that question in the aftermath of Gaza: Is writing poetry after the carnage in Gaza also barbaric? From Adorno to Benjamin to Agamben I have sought to find a language to come to terms with the slaughter in Palestinians--framing the thinking in between two tragic souls: Between Walter Benjamins suicide in 1940 on the border between France and Spain, running away from the banality of Nazi evil, and Khalil Hawis suicide in 1982, in protest against the Zionist invasion and occupation of his homeland, the fate of all our metaphors and allegories after Gaza was written and sealed.--
