The beauty and brilliance of #Gaza will always shine through her artists. And when Gaza rises from the ashes, it will be in song and dance and prose and art and brilliance.
Interlink Books has long been one of the best presses bringing us Palestinian voices. Their latest is the debut novel by Asmaa Alatawna, a stunning and empowering look at life in — and out — of #Gaza.
Palestine Writes recommends the debut novel by long time activist and scholar Steven Salaita. The novel is breathtaking in its scope and themes, and it marks a dynamic new voice in Palestinian American fiction.
as Palestinians continue to bury family members daily by the hundreds, including our established, emerging, and yet unknown writers in Gaza, this principled solidarity from individuals gives us some comfort. thank you: @drovarela, @CAMONGHNE, @EugeniaLeigh, @guszeineddine,…
I withdrew my work from consideration for the Jean Stein Award. I can't align myself w/ a human rights org that waits 5 months to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, while platforming zionists & pretending there's nuance to genocide. ✊🏽🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 ✊🏽@wawog_now ✊🏽@united_PEN
there are people in this world who care more about justice, freedom, and universal dignity than they do their own careers. thank god for those people. they divert the sun to shine on those languishing under boots and bombs.
Despite my deep gratitude to the judges who believed in my book, BIANCA, I have withdrawn from consideration for the 2024 PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry. I made this choice in keeping with the boycott sustained against @penamerica, and in solidarity with Palestine. 🧵
Ceasefire now is a euphemism. What we are in fact demanding is Stop slaughtering children. Stop killing children. Stop massacring children. Stop blowing up children. Stop decapitating children. Stop burning the flesh of children. Stop tearing the limbs off children. Stop…
Thank you for this principled position.
🧵I declined the PEN/Ralph Manheim Award for Translation, in solidarity with the 1300+ writers who've decried @PENamerica silence on the genocidal murder of Palestinians, & with the @united_PEN fight to maintain free speech for PEN employees,

In 1973, a year after Ghassan Kanafani was killed, his wife Anni wrote a moving tribute to him. 50 years later, thanks to @PalestineWrites it’s been republished. I was honoured to write the new introduction & thanks to @Mondoweiss, you can read it here: mondoweiss.net/2023/09/a-race…
"We believe PEN America bears a particular responsibility to call for an immediate, permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. We know that South Africa’s freedom was won, in part, because of international pressure exerted on the apartheid government."
