Dion Majabe

Famous poet Dion Majabe has lost all he loves as a result of war. After assassinating the king, he is thrown in jail to await his execution, whereupon he meets Jahnav, a man sent to jail 20 years prior for trying to help his sons avoid the draft. As he converses with Jahnav, Dion reflects upon his past as he prepares to face his seemingly bleak future. Written by Patrick Zhang, “Dion Majabe” grapples with loss of freedom and loss of love, and demonstrates how a prison cell is nothing compared to what imprisons one’s heart. *TRIGGER WARNING*: This podcast play episode has an aural depiction of war that could be triggering to some listeners.
