An Interview with Walid Alwanni, a Palestinian journalist and creative writer born and raised in Damascus, Syria
A poem by Fanny Howe
“I don’t for a minute think we’re defined by our passports. We are so much larger than we have language for. It’s the writer’s job to keep reminding us of this. The vocabulary of politics can easily become a trap. Its structure is by nature full of false dichotomies, simplistic definitions, and distorted oppositions.”
