It is with great sadness that I wish to announce the passing, yesterday, of one of our authors, Djelloul Marbrook, of Germantown, NY, poet, novelist, photographer, newspaper man, sailor and Arabist scholar, died on Saturday, November 23rd.

Djelloul attended Columbia University and served in both the Merchant Marine and the United States Navy, where he saw action during the early armistice period in North Korea and on the deck of the USS Leyte during the 1956 Suez Crisis.

Djelloul’s work frequently explored metaphysical themes, addressing the subjects of child s*x abuse—to which he fell victim—personal identity, and living as an outsider amongst racists in his own extended family and society at large.

He leaves us with two books pending publication with our press, one, a memoir,"Whuddya See, Kid?" and a second book, "The Yellow Suitcase,” his last collection of poems, both forthcoming in 2025.

Dying? Dying, I’m dying to be dead,
to sweep red-handed half past dread,
not for the rest of it, which I can’t know,
but the exquisite moment when I go.

from "Falling Down Stairs”
Djelloul Marbrook
