Join us online for an evening of readings from our latest publishing venture, Daughter of Death by Palestinian poet Roba Al-Sharif
Chris Dobson (he/him) – PhD candidate in English at University of Sussex – just completed their first publishing venture for Exploding Appendix: Daughter of Death by Roba Al-Sharif
A small collection of poems and two prose pieces by a Palestinian writing from Gaza.
The collection is a vivid and incredibly moving sequence, in both Arabic and English on parallel facing pages. Poems contain a surprising and interesting range of themes considering their traumatic context: including love, the nature of writing, media and technology. The prose pieces offer context and philosophical concerns.
