Join us online for an evening of readings from our latest publishing venture, Daughter of Death by Palestinian poet 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. 

You can buy the book in a physical or digital version by emailing Chris at dobson@sent.com
