Najwan Darwish: Poems for Palestine

Sponsored by

Najwan Darwish's lyrical and pulsating poetry has never been more relevant. His collection, No One Will Know You Tomorrow, draws from five volumes published in Arabic, here translated into English, alongside new work, to showcase the horror of living in a war-torn land, while shining a light on the beauty of the Palestinian landscape. Hear Darwish - described as one of the foremost contemporary Arab poets - discuss what it means to survive, how to avoid bring desensitised by conflict, and the incredible tenacity of the human spirit. Chaired by Marjorie Lotfi.
