In March 2025, Professor Omar Kholeif had the rare honor of serving as the guest critic of the critical literary publication, The Brooklyn Rail.

The voices assembled here, all artistic or literary in one way or another, have created a frame, a window, a tunnel, or a portal to tell stories that open into an emotional politics via the act of looking. Their work is a form of woolgathering, a vocation of and for the polyglot voice.

A physical printed version of this was circulated around New York City in a print-run of 10,000 copies freely, and the remaining print-run is available to purchase.

The link here gives you an overview of all my contributed and commissioned texts, which also includes GSA Graduate Celia Hempton: https://brooklynrail.org/2025/03/criticspage/pictures-windows-portals-lives/

I would like to find a way for a physical Deposit to be produced as well.
