Sahar Khraibani, Farid Matuk, Michelle Peñaloza, and Roque Raquel Salas Rivera’s decolonial poetics linger on speech, sound, and names. These poets parse language in every way—its mouthfeel, memory, non-meaning, and haunting reverberations.

Sahar Khraibani read from ONE THOUSAND GHOSTS IN THIS FEAST (Wendy’s Subway, 2025); Anatomy of a Refusal (1080press, 2024)
Farid Matuk read from Moon Mirrored Indivisible (The University of Chicago Press, 2025)
Michelle Peñaloza read from All The Words I Can Remember Are Poems (Persea Books, 2025)
