Glue — carte blanche magazine Translation by Dawson Ford Campbell I am a sieve. A medium-sized strainer picked up at Renaissance, with a weave that’s tighter in places, a rim that’s lightly rusted.

Check out the first chapter from my wip translation of Clémence Dumas-Côté's "Glue" in the latest issue of carte blanche ... @lesherbesrouges.bsky.social

Beneath the Howl of Hunger By Alaa Alqaisi Long before hunger lays claim to the body, it loosens the scaffolding of language, erasing clarity, dismantling rhythm, and leaving behind the fragile debris of thought. What begins as a coherent paragraph soon dissolves into fragments, until all that remains is the involuntary tremor of a mind too starved to hold meaning. And so, before my language deserts me entirely, I write this, less to be understood than to remain traceable, to leave behind the shape of thought before it slips into silence.

From a forthcoming essay by our beloved contributor & workshop participant & friend, Alaa Alqaisi.

An incredibly gifted writer, translator, & scholar. Being starved.
