“The Palestine I knew was the product of the language of people I grew up reading – Ghassan Kanafani, Mahmoud Darwish, and Fadwa Touqan... So many of us owe our sense of self and lineage and belonging to language that was intentionally and defiantly crafted by our poets and writers….Language is also a place, and a way to build home. It felt important to really lean into that."
