Exciting News!

Thank you Tin House! I am honored and excited to work with so many talented creators this summer…and beyond the moon to study poetry with Lena Khalaf Tuffaha!

 

“Our grandmothers’ tears of Tatreez live on through us. Tatreez, Indigenous Palestinian embroidery, holds hope, tears and sumud...our cultural inheritance. Their gift to us for the enduring. We are more than fierce grief…we are ancestral indigeneities in human form dreamed into being by our ancestors. We are love, strength, art, magic and so much more. We were formed by dreams, sand and stardust, but we are shaped by love. 

We are poetry. We are Palestine.”

— Micaela Kaibni Raen

Quote from a National Organization for Women's Event in 1990

It is hard to believe that 1990 was 35 years ago! It must be time to start working on my memoir. While preparing some items for the archives, I found my speech notes from this event. Here is a quote from the talk.
