This anthology, in English and Levantine Arabic, features writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, teachers, translators and more – from Iran, Lebanon, the Occupied Golan Heights, the Occupied West Bank, Syria and Switzerland. Writing for adults and older children, and with translation and cultural exchange in heart and mind, they tell personal tales of what matters, and how meaning can shift in moments of crisis and transformation. These are focused memoirs of place, love, loss, family, food, music, borders and the sky.
