Def Poetry: Suheir Hammad- ''First Writing Since.''

[@drakeselwe1271]

Watching this on November 15th 2023, Gaza has been under attack for the past weeks. There are protests all over the world calling for a ceasefire. This poem feels more important now than ever!

When the world needed her most she vanished. I ;t seen anything from her since 2015. I feel like she was ran off the internet by Zionists. I hope shes healthy and happy somewhere enjoying her life.

The video takes forever to play.....just thought I'd let you know. The stopping and starting is really long too.....great job from what I could hear. I just would like to hear the whole thing without all of the stops and starts! It's a really important piece and you deliver it very well. LIsa
