SUMMARY:Sanaa Seif with Sharif Abdel Kouddous (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Making this Seattle visit as part of a national\, in-person tour around the U.S. are Egyptian activist\, film editor\, and one-time political prisoner Sanaa Seif\, along with Cairo-based independent journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous. They will be discussing the extraordinary book of Sanaa Seif’s imprisoned brother Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s writings\, You Have Not Been Defeated: Selected Works (Seven Stories). Alaa Abd El-Fattah is probably the highest profile political prisoner currently being held in Egypt – one of many\, however\, including Sanaa Seif herself until recently. \n“You can’t jail a revolution. Alaa Abd el-Fattah is proof. These essays\, many handwritten and smuggled from a prison cell\, breathe life into the 2011 moment\, what shaped its revolutionary possibilities and terrible betrayals. This book is a memory of Tahrir Square that still reverberates like a heartbeat throughout the world.”– Nick Estes. \n“In a totalitarian system where even ideas are punishable with imprisonment\, this collection of essays from one of Egypt’s most high-profile political prisoners is like an oasis in a desolate landscape. Part manifesto\, part memoir\, and part record of some of Abd El-Fattah’s trial scenes that are more than worthy of Kafka\, the book contains passages smuggled out from Cairo’s infamous Tora prison.”– Ruth Michaelson\, The Guardian. \n“Written with blood and fire\, You Have Not Yet Been Defeated is a brilliant and devastating testament by one of Egypt’s great revolutionaries.”– Molly Crabapple. \nThis is scheduled to be a live/in-person program at Elliott Bay Book Company. Registration is optional.

SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Book Event: Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza
DESCRIPTION:Mosab Abu Toha is a Palestinian poet and librarian who grew up in Gaza; he will be in conversation with best-selling author Mary Karr to celebrate his debut book of poems\, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza published by City Lights Books. \n  \n“Mosab Abu Toha is an astonishingly gifted young poet from Gaza\, almost a seer with his eloquent lyrical vernacular … His poems break my heart and awaken it\, at the same time. I feel I have been waiting for his work all my life.”–Naomi Shihab Nye \nIn this poetry debut Mosab Abu Toha writes about his life under siege in Gaza\, first as a child\, and then as a young father. A survivor of four brutal military attacks\, he bears witness to a grinding cycle of destruction and assault\, and yet\, his poetry is inspired by a profound humanity. \nMosab founded the Edward Said Library (the first English-language library in Gaza)\, a project that MECA supports.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth: Town Hall (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:It can be easy to settle into the narrative that short-sighted\, individualist behavior is a natural trait of all humankind\, especially when considering how the human impact on the Earth has only recently become apparent to so many. But this narrative is not shared by all people and cultures; for the Indigenous people of the world\, radical alteration of the planet – and of life itself – is a story that is many generations long. It is also a story of adaptation\, perseverance\, courage\, and resourcefulness in the face of genocide and destruction. \nIn an innovative work of research and reportage\, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities\, generations\, and geographic regions. Together\, they share knowledge\, experience\, questions\, observations\, and dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible with all life. \nWe Are the Middle of Forever illuminates the perspectives of those who have been long-attuned to a changing planet. As we look for new ideas and responses to our shared human challenges\, Indigenous voices offer hope\, connection\, and a welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis. \nDahr Jamail is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq as well as The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption. He has won the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism and the Izzy Award. He lives in Washington State.
