Hamilton Arts and Letters Presents
Defy the Silence
Poems by Rasha Omran
Imagine, in your country, half the population in exile, displaced, or dead. Imagine thousands arrested, tortured, and lost in prisons in your country. Imagine you now live in exile and people are still fleeing and dying in your country.
The poems selected for this online book are part of Rasha’s ongoing resistance to the silencing and erasure of Syria.
“Rasha Omran is one of Syria’s most well-known poets, intellectuals, and reform advocates.” [—Cairo Literature Festival Program]
