I picked up The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip Hop while visiting Our Daily Nada Saturday night. The cover art caught my eye and the few poems I read after opening it up convinced me to take it home. #haymarketbooks #breakbeatpoets #breakbeatpoetry #bookstagram #poetry
I had to put this book down last night to sleep, or else I might have finished it in one sitting! I started it at 11:00 pm though, which was poor planning. Now I have a bit of free time at work, since teacher work days are slow, and I can squeeze in some more reading!
Recent news has come up in the book - official death toll of 64 vs. estimate of 4645. #haymarketbooks #puertorico

Y‘all, I am learning so much from this book already, and reading about Casa Pueblo in Adjuntas and other idealistic, radical approaches to disaster recovery and lasting positive change is giving me goosebumps. These people fighting for renewable resources and democratic resource management in Puerto Rico are everything. #haymarketbooks #puertorico

This collection of essays by South African scholars analyzes the comparisons that can be made between apartheid South Africa and Israel/Palestine. The first essay in this collection, by Ishtiyaq Shukri, does a great job shedding light on the lived experience of Palestinians as he saw it during his visit, while throwing in some connections he observed between the Israeli state and the apartheid state in South Africa. #haymarketbooks #palestine ❤️
