Writing into Silence | Hasib Hourani + Cathy Linh Che |

Conversation ✶ Watch Here

“rock flight is relentlessly potent,” writes Korean American poet Don Mee Choi about Hasib Hourani’s debut book, a personal and historical narrative of Palestine’s occupation. At once claustrophobic and unsettlingly exposed, this book-length poem seeks new forms of language to articulate this ongoing horror and the ongoing resistance. Hasib speaks with writer and artist Cathy Linh Che about writing into the wound, explorations with form, and the state of literature in Australia and the US.
