Dear CUNY

By Stephanie Pacheco

Dear community college,
I can’t talk about you
Without a train rattling the earth in the background.
Without the post-class hangout spot coming into the conversation
I can’t paint your graceful portrait
Without the mention of
The campus lawns we lay on
That hold us warm in our presence,
And write of us in our absence

I can’t talk about you
Without mentioning our mascot
I met him in the gym once
At a club fair.
And it was insane.
A larger-than-life panther,
A body composed of the spirit of all of our beating hearts.
Our mascot the breakdancer,
the once in a blue moon guest star appearance.

Dear community college,
You taught me the art of learning how to fall asleep anywhere
In lounge chairs
On the 2 train
On my homework.
You taught me the art of making any place
My home.

Dear community college,
I want to tell you about my mom
Who dreamt of attending a college like mine
Who told me when I walked on my campus,
to whisper to the hallways and ask if they remembered her.
Who told me if the bathroom tiles forget her name,
If the chalkboards told me they cannot pronounce the syllables of her body,
Then I must be the one to carry her memory like lecture.
My school,
Of impossible nostalgia

Dear community college,
You taught me about how beautiful the city is when it sleeps
The brightest galaxies in the sky are our city lights
When they replace the sun,
Nothing is between us and the future,
No plane of existence can swallow me here.

This is for the professors who taught me how to laugh in a classroom
Who in me saw a dream.
Who said don’t nobody got anything on us.
Said envision the world I want and be bold enough to write it.
Who gave me printed versions of their syllabus
to write my poems on the back of

Dear CUNY,
I don’t know of any other school that runs its city like you
That paints its town with its face
like you
Everywhere I turn, every building is a student
Every train car is a classroom
CUNY students are the real mayor of New York
Every leader I need already lives in me
Every philosopher I know wears a tote bag and hangs out at my library
My favorite scriptures are those I have to reserve
Using my school library’s website.

This is for my librarians
You know, sometimes I ignore the emails
about my overdue books
They tell me I renew too often.
They actually tell me I haven’t renewed my loan at all.

But at least the only loan I’ve acquired
Is at my school library
The only debt I owe is to them.
To you all, the magnificent holders of knowledge
You all, who remind me to dream like our city lights.
To be that kind of impossible.

To the impeccable cleaning staff and cafeteria chefs,
The people who built pyramids in Egypt,
Modeled their precision after you.
I thank you for your hands.
I thank you for what they have created for me to live in.
You know, I remember
When it would be 11pm and the only thing between me and my sleep
Was an essay that I knew I wouldn’t do if I went home.
It would just be us on the entire campus.
Just me and these folks who made everything they touched shine,
Who are responsible for the creation of stars.

This poem is for everything that keeps a boat floating
For the makers and shakers
For the thinkers,
The dreamers,
For those of us who dare.

For everyone whose parents bet their life on the ocean between their homelands and here,
And prayed for children on the way
For those who live by train tracks,
In the spaces below coming and going,
Who bet their lives on possible destinations
For those of us who are determined
To create a colosseum in the collective
For those of us who write, and sing, and study, dance, build, teach, care, and love Like our breath depend on it
Because they do
We are no one’s lower class
We are nobody’s other

Come join me in the sanctuary we’ve got for now
In our classroom turned temple
We’ve got work to do.

Librarians at City Tech have decided to discontinue our use of X as a social media platform because its proprietary algorithm increasingly amplifies hate speech, extreme right rhetoric, and misinformation related to political conspiracies.

As informational professionals and educators committed to protecting speech, we have decided to opt out of algorithmic censorship. Our archive of tweets and X posts are still accessible because we think it prudent to maintain control over the @citytechlibrary handle but we will no longer be actively posting on that platform.

And we’re not alone. Many individuals, organizations, news outlets, and libraries have been saying goodbye and good riddance to X. Algorithmic censorship is both an ethical concern and also a legal conundrum. Extractive media conglomerates weaponize fear and contribute to political polarization and climate collapse through the curation and amplification of perspectives that advance a hyper-capitalist, technocratic agenda. In a number of high profile legislative hearings, lawmakers have upheld Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (created in 1996), which absolves social media platforms like X from liability over user generated content, even as their proprietary platforms,  content mediation, and privacy policies directly influence what content surfaces and what is buried.

Other users have left X because the Terms of Services that users must agree to were updated in November, 2024. Many have argued that the new terms compromise people’s privacy since users can no longer opt of having their posts used for training artificial intelligence platforms, including Grok, which is owned by Elon Musk, the owner of X and unelected figurehead of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Learn more about algorithmic censorship and how X’s Terms of Services impact user privacy.

The City Tech Library’s Scholarly Communication Committee and Faculty Commons are excited to host an interdisciplinary panel discussion about Art and Alternative Scholarship with panelists: Prof. Robin Michals (Communication Design), Prof. Kel Karpinski (Library), and Prof. Javiela Evangelista (African American Studies). Prof. Nora Almeida from the Library will Moderate.

• • When: Friday, April 4th from 12:45-2pm
  • Where: Faculty Commons N-227 and on zoom
    • RSVP

The Panel

Scholars, publishers, and institutions are increasingly embracing experimental, autoethnographic, hybrid, and interdisciplinary approaches to research and art. This shift reflects a larger cultural recognition of the limits of traditional publishing, exhibition, and professional forums to capture the shifting landscapes of socially engaged, embodied, and publicly situated art and research practices. In this panel, we’ve invited scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss their creative and scholarly work and to begin an important dialogue about the potential for art and alternative research to transform institutional paradigms around “what counts.”

The Panelists

Javiela Evangelista is an Assistant Professor in the African American Studies Department A public anthropologist, she engages in participatory research on citizenship and racialization in the African Diaspora. Evangelista’s book manuscript is an ethnographic analysis of the largest case of mass statelessness in the western hemisphere, the contemporary denationalization of Dominicans of Haitian descent in Dominican Republic. Her work has been featured at the Venice Biennale and in the Publication of Afro-Latin/American Research Association (PALARA), National Political Science Review and Interdisciplinary Team Teaching (Palgrave). She is a founding member of We Are All Dominican a collective against statelessness.

Learn about statelessness in Dominican Republic from Reconoci.do  an independent  civic network, made up mainly of Dominicans of Haitian descent, which promotes human rights.

Robin Michals is a photographer whose focus is dance and performance. Current clients include Artichoke Dance, the Center for Performance Research, Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, Earth Celebration, the International Human Rights Arts Festival, the Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation, and the Queensboro Dance Festival among others. From 2010-2022, she documented environmental issues. This work was exhibited at St. Francis University, the Marshall J. Gardener Center for the Art and in THE FENCE in 2019-2020. Her work was selected for Critical Mass Top 50 in 2019 and in 2020, it was one of eight winners of the 7th Tokyo International Photography Competition.

Kel R. Karpinski (he/they) is an Associate Professor and the Information Technology & Interlibrary Loan Librarian at the New York City College of Technology, CUNY. Their research focuses on mid-century queer films and novels as they relate to sailors and hustlers in Times Square and how these texts map queer desire onto the city. Kel is a zine maker and a NY Queer Zine Fair organizer. Their zines bridge their work between academia and libraries with the greater queer community.

Kel also works with The Queer Zine Archive Project.

It’s banned books week, which some people think of as a celebration of our freedom to read and others as an awareness campaign about the dangers of restricting access to information and infringing free speech. Book bans, impacting libraries and schools and other state funded educational spaces, have gained more media attention in a time of political polarization. There has been some contradictory reporting about whether more books are being banned in 2024 than in previous years, but book banning has become more prevalent since the pandemic and is still limiting people’s freedom to read and access information, impacting budgets and school curricula, and in some extreme cases, getting librarians fired (and fired up). A few librarians who have opposed banned books or defied banned books laws, have been harassed  or received violent threats.

Who bans books and why? Books are banned by politicians, typically through local legislation at the state level. Conservative groups have frequently been cited as mobilizing legislators to ban books they they deem controversial, especially for younger audiences. The motivation for banning books is arguably political and most commonly banned books are those about “race, history, gender identity, sexuality, and reproductive health.” 

Where are books banned? Book bans are uneven and primarily effect school libraries and school curricula. Texas and Florida are usually cited as the states with the most banned books but even in places where books aren’t formally banned there might be “challenged” books or changes to school and library budgets that work to effectively make certain reading material inaccessible to the public and especially to youth.

What books are banned? In some states hundreds of books are banned or “challenged.” The top banned books last year, according to the American Library Association, were:

1. “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe
2. “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson
3. “This Book Is Gay” by Juno Dawson
4. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky
5. “Flamer” by Mike Curato
6. “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison
7. “Tricks” by Ellen Hopkins
8.  “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews
9. “Let’s Talk About It” by Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan
10. “Sold” by Patricia McCormick

How are people standing up against book bans? The American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom has reported a slight dip in book bans this year. They think that legal success, community advocacy, and “young heroes” are responsible for making a difference.

At the City Tech Library we believe in the freedom to read and try to raise awareness about censorship. We’ve got plenty of banned and challenged books in our collection (here are just a few that we wanted to highlight, which were all written by Black authors, who are more frequently targeted by book bans). So check them out!

Literally, you can borrow books from the library for 16 weeks. And want a banned (or really any) book we don’t have? You can request one from any CUNY or SUNY library or use our Interlibrary Loan service. If we don’t have it, we’ll try to get it for you!

Salary

April is National Poetry Month. There is a book display on the 4th floor of the library and you should check a book of poetry out and take it home and read it.

A lot of people in America don’t read poems. A lot of people in America think of poems as decorous or obtuse or useless things.

Here’s the official poster of 2023 National Poetry Month, which I think looks decorous and obtuse and useless, but who am I to say–like Frank O’Hara, I’m not a painter.

Once in awhile someone makes a poem that reaches into the collective consciousness and people take notice. Amanda Gorman’s Fury and Faith, a poem about systemic injustice, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the possibility of liberation was such a poem–a democracy affirming poem, a protest poem, delivered at a the 2021 presidential inauguration.

After the inauguration, lot of people invited Amanda Gorman to talk about and read her poem on TV. I think Fury and Faith is a beautiful poem, an American poem about hope and oppression, and I wish that after Amanda Gorman stopped being on TV all the time, people started reading other poems more often. But I doubt it.

Sometimes I like an American poem without hope. Poems that don’t have birds in them or the word “someday.” Poems about the bus and the uselessness of political discourse, like Claudia Rankine’s poem from Don’t Let Me Be Lonely: “I don’t usually talk to strangers…”–a poem about the ordinary political conversations we chose not to have because some distances are unbridgeable:

I could say something, but my packages are getting heavier by the minute and besides, what is there to say since rhetorically it’s not about our oil under their sand but about freeing Iraqis from Iraqis and Osama is Saddam and Saddam is “that man who tried to kill my father” and the weapons of mass destruction are, well, invisible and Afghanistan is Iraq and Iraq is Syria

Poetry doesn’t need to change the world to be an act of resistance or a statement of witness. Maybe it is is enough to say, like Julian Talamantez Brolaski does, in the poem Stonewall to Standing Rock:

what can poetry do it
cant not not do nothing

Not that many people need to read or hear a poem for it to mean something. Maybe a poem that is a transcription of a dream written for one person and delivered on a bicycle by Mathias Svalina, as part of his “dream delivery service” is the best poem:

Maybe the best poem is on the back of a napkin somewhere, lost in a landfill.

One of my favorite poets, Paul Celan, who spent 18 months in a forced labor camp during World War II because he was Jewish, and whose parents died in a Nazi concentration camp, made poems and kept them in his head because he didn’t have any way to write them down. In his poem Ashglory, written and published after the war, he warns us:

No one
bears witness for the
witness. 

And here we are almost 100 years later reading Paul Celan and remembering the horror of fascism, during the rise of a new kind of fascism. Maybe we need poems to remember or uncover things that history has buried, like the Poems of Lost Privilege Company, which are really collages made from the files of youth who were imprisoned from 1910-1925 as part of the American eugenics movement (not in a lot of history books).

Maybe we need poems to connect or to forget. Poems to counter the decorous poetry that we think is the only kind. Poems that describe real sex and real feelings, unflinchingly, like Ariana Reines’ poem “When I Looked at Your Cock, My Imagination Died” does.

Maybe we need poetry about the things we want to believe in or once believed. Maybe we need a poetics that uncovers our own false gods lovingly like Dodie Bellamy does in her book TV Sutras:

…but my cult was nothing like Mark’s cult, my cult was normal.

And maybe these particular poems aren’t the ones that you recognize yourself and your own experience in, but those poem exist and you should find them.

Here’s one of my favorites, written by my teacher Lisa Jarnot. It is a great poem but I like it because it reminds me of the place I grew up and I recognize myself in it:
