When I was looking at the news today, it feels like there's been a turning point, because the tenor of how Gaza is covered has really changed, and much more reflects the devastation in Gaza. I loved the prompt of taking an unsympathetic article and editing it, but because I had trouble finding one like that, I edited an article that already highlighted the concerns. I can't actually post a blackout poem here because of the format allowed by substack, but the article I used was a haunting one. "We are about to witness in Gaza the most intense famine since the second world war" by Alex de Waal of The Guardian
