Poetry, Tripoli and Navigating the Moment w/ Zeina Hashem Beck (E30)

This is a conversation with Zeina Hashem Beck. She's a poet originally from Tripoli, Lebanon. We spoke about her poems of  course and about what it means to be thinking about Lebanon from outside  of Lebanon, especially since the October 17th uprising. We touched upon  mental health, struggling with poetry, and sectarian jokes. We also  mentioned our respective upbringings, her in Tripoli and myself in Mount  Lebanon, and what they reveal about modern Lebanese politics.
