They say that tomorrow is Eid, summer is gone, winter has arrived, then New Year, then summer again, Ramadan and Eid, and I stumble every day in a whole world designed from my nightmares.

There are a thousand soldiers and a thousand shells between me and my home.

Hi Jenny,

Thx for the kind words. I do know about the $100K. This # feels insignificant in comparison to your CEO's $500K salary and PEN America's $43 million in assets. The prize you longlisted me for is a $75K. Surely, any Palestinian writer could use this money more than I.
