Poem as Photon Returning to Audience

Sarona Abuaker has been published in Berfrois, MAP Magazine, the 87press’ ‘Digital Poetics’ series, KOHL, Ludd Gang, Senna Hoy & other platforms. Her debut poetry collection, ‘Why so few women on the street at night’, published by the 87Press, is a queer phenomenology of collective Palestinian futurisms and memory building. She co-developed ‘Countless Palestinian Futures’ with Dr. Danah Abdulla, a game that aims to stimulate the imagination by helping people develop tangible outcomes and ideas around Palestinian futures.
