On this journey, I’m joined by Alia and Safiya as we discuss
  • Reading iconic poems in translation
  • Literature as second-hand experience of traumatic and painful events
  • Memory and connection in Palestinian writing and experience
  • Establishing justice as a fundamental purpose in Palestine and the world
