Join the Jerusalem Fund on Friday, August 25 for our next in-person cultural event, a discussion with Dr. Mohammed Sawaie on his new book of translated Palestinian poetry, The Tent Generations.

The Tent Generations brings together the work of a select number of Palestinian poets over the past seven decades who gives expression to the Palestinian experience under Israeli rule and Israeli occupation, as well as the experience of dispersion and displacement from their homeland following the Nakba and subsequent wars. This collection shows how Palestinian poets used their poetry to describe their relationship to the Palestinian people, their homeland, and the presence of an Israeli occupier in their midst.
