    Writing for over the last 5+ years has been a gift, & as it celebrates a decade in existence, I'm particularly happy to share the first glimpse of a new poetry project on its pages. With thanks, as always, to .

    There are people who feel nostalgic for high school, and there are those who do not. Perhaps without exception, I’ve found my closest relationships among the latter group. Maybe this explains why.

    6. Its appearance in time at the cusp of redrawn American conceptions of the world: featured at Cannes 2001, 4 months prior to 9/11. A film whose production directly precedes the time that the location being approximated on film began to matter deeply to average Americans.

    5. The advent of Afghan girls denied education--toward the film's beginning--and the ensuing secret offscreen narrative of an Afghan-born woman captured on a tape recorder, a technology more dangerous to the Taliban than a Russian-manufactured assault weapon.

    4. The solar eclipse, perhaps seen monochromatically at either end of the film, marks the inability to ever reach the titular city. Is the filmed eclipse real or an effect? Pazira could not reach her friend in reality, and possibly could not reach her sister in the narrative.

    3. The use of émigrés along the Iranian-Afghan border as actors, some of whom had never seen a film and had doubts that such a thing was being created, as per Nelofer Pazira's commentary. How could anyone in that position believe such a thing?

    2. Trappings meant to capture individuals, effacing their individuality, leading instead to confusions & subterfuges of: man in burqa, Muslim African American "doctor" in false beard ("man's burqa"), journalist from mostly secular Canada who travels as 1 of several wives.

    1. An actor whose character hasn't found God after committing decades to that pursuit, an actor who speaks from the place where he remains out of reach of extradition for an assassination he committed in his place of birth, where he might never return.

    Interstitial cinema: contact zones, exiles, tenuous positions in space and time, neither here nor there. Or, why the world needs more films like سفر قندهار. Elaborated reasons below...

    On the record, an Oregon state senator threatens to kill police sent to find him & fellow Republicans for skipping town to thwart a change bill. I just can't.

    In the aftermath of the Muslim massacre in Christchurch, NZ, Trump is asked if he thinks white nationalism is a growing threat: "I don't, really," he responds with predictably nebulous insouciance. X. Kendi's fact-based corrective in The Atlantic:
