New publication: Daughter of Death by Roba Al-Sharif

Chris Dobson (he/him) – PhD candidate in English at University of Sussex – just completed their first publishing venture for Exploding Appendix:

Daughter of Death by Roba Al-Sharif

A small collection of poems and two prose pieces by a Palestinian writing from Gaza.

The collection is a vivid and incredibly moving sequence, in both Arabic and English on parallel facing pages. Poems contain a surprising and interesting range of themes considering their traumatic context: including love, the nature of writing, media and technology. The prose pieces offer context and philosophical concerns.

These are for sale on a Limited Run: get these unique historical items while you can and help fund struggling artists and future publications like this one.

50% of sales are going to the author, who expresses a great desire to share her heart with readers.
