    The Milk Tooth Poetry Collective is a group of writers devoted to a poetics of expansiveness, rigor, and mutual support. Our first poetry zine explores the topics of generation and regeneration through poems that span the radically political to the deeply personal. Collectively, our work ponders what is born from the ruins of the past. What possibilities can we gestate by mining the darkness? And what might our external and psychic landscapes have to teach us about renewal?

    (C) Mati Shemoelof

    „Die Fremden sind die Freunde“ (AT) von Gidi Farhi und Mati Shemoelof verbindet Musik und Poesie zu einem performativen, poetischen „Gastmahl“, das Migration und die komplexe Diversität jüdischer Diaspora erforscht. Im Spiel mit der hebräischen Sprache und improvisierter Musik zu aktueller Poesie entsteht ein Dialog zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Als empathische Politisierung individueller Emotionen fördert das Projekt behutsam kollektives Verständnis für die Situation jüdischer Diaspora.
