Thanks for visiting. I'm khulud, a feminist Palestinian writer living in Haifa. Here I share my experiences within broader socio-political contexts. I play around with poetry, and publish fragments of fiction-in-progress. My first novel, Haifa Fragments, is available from Spinifex Press (Australia) and New Internationalist (UK)

not "exotic" enough
(c) photo by khulud
It’s not right.
my sexuality is not –
an exotic exhibit
for you
to
feed your
stereotypes.
I refuse to –
make
orientalist
art
only for your –
voyeuristic
desires.
This is me
With all complexities
And this is the –
Margins.
and if the margins are just not
enough
or are too much for you,
then you need to
drop the
categorization.
