In a recent interview on Democracy Now, director of “Unseen” Set Hernandez quoted Ursula Le Guin: “Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now. … We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality.” In this episode we invited Emily and Nora Khilfeh, two Palestinian students: Emily is graduate student of writing at Arizona State University and she shares her poetry in our show today, Nora is a student at Edmonds College in Seattle. Both students share their experiences as Palestinian college students, their visits to their family home in Palestine, and poetry that speaks truth to power.
