We talk about a newly released collection of five compelling and highly quotable interviews with the great late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, titled Palestine as Metaphor, translated by Amira El-Zein and Carolyn Forché. We also talk about recent protests in Lebanon and how they are being written about in Lebanese and international media, as well as the frightening day when the independent Egyptian news site Mada Masr’s offices were raided and editors detained. (All of Mada’s staff has now been released). This episode was partly recorded and produced in the offices of the Sowt network.SHOW NOTESThe Great Lebanese Ponzi Scheme by Lina MounzerThe Lebanese Street Asks: ‘Which Is Stronger, Sect or Hunger?’ by Ursula LindseyOn Power, Machines, and Departures: Running Mada Masr in Today’s Egypt by Lina Attalah.A few things you might like to know about us, by Lina AttalahPalestine as Metaphor by Mahmoud Darwish, tr.
