Books and Poets on Exile and Home in Palestine

In the tenth episode of Feelings Soup, Elly speaks with academic and editor, writer, professor and historian Zoé Samudzi to provide us with a brief and contextualized history of how we got to this point in 2023 with the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Zoé offers books and poets to pay attention to, and they discuss ways to stay grounded when the whole world feels like it’s going to shit. 

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the 4-5 day pause agreement released on Tuesday, November 21. Note also that the podcast host believes the pause is not enough and we must keep demanding a total ceasefire and then proper reparations for the Palestinian people.
