Blue-Black Liver
of 6
Blue-Black Liver is a mock newspaper combining poetry, prose, and early 20th-century photographs of
the Jordan River from the American Colony Photo Department and the Palestine Museum Digital
Archives. Its shifting type scales and fractured columns mirror the disrupted flows of water, memory,
and land. Through experimental texts and visual montage, the publication exposes the limits of the
newspaper form and surfaces submerged histories of colonial and ecological violence. From settler-
greenwashed forests to droughts, deluges, and gas-lit wounds, each spread fuses bodily experience
with political testimony—reclaiming landscapes and languages shaped by dispossession, resistance,
and repair.
