On November 25th, we gather writers from around the world for a 24 hour reading in support of Palestinian writers, Palestinian voices in diaspora, and their allies.

We gather in the spirit of fundamental respect for life and liberation.

As individual poets, artists & writers, and representatives of independent arts organizations, we call for an end to all ongoing genocidal aggression globally.

We condemn the collective punishment of Palestinians, we condemn actions that perpetuate cycles of violence, and we call for a global commitment to protect freedom of expression and critical dissent. 

The reading begins at 3pm Palestinian time.

Here is the youtube link: https://youtube.com/live/AwOT9TiFNik

Ten years ago Mick Tausing's astonishing piece, ‘Two Weeks in Palestine: My First Visit’ was published in Critical Inquiry.

As much about storytelling and reading as it is about the ethics of them is one reason I love it, and another it took me months to get through.
