Elaine Kahn's Favourite Book Imagines a "Free Palestine"
Briefly

'There's a Palestine that dwells inside all of us,' Alareer writes in the foreword, ' ... a free Palestine where all people regardless of colour, religion or race coexist.' This book is a living testament to the force of Alareer's faith in literature's capacity to be a powerful liberatory practice, and to his steadfast dedication to cultivating that power.
The liberatory potential of language is harnessed to quietly devastating effect in the poetry of Elaine Kahn. Diamond-bright, with matchless titles and indelible imagery, Kahn's poems reach fearlessly into the tenderest places.
Elaine Kahn, known for her experimental and generous approach to poetry, explores themes of love and existence in a body through her impactful and indelible poems like Romance or the End and Women in Public.
