My dad doesn’t like me talking about politics online, but sometimes things are beyond evading for fear of some “bad guy” spying my itty bitty blog! Sorry, baba! The recent events of the Israeli flotilla raid is something we all should be talking about, writing about, seriously thinking about in terms of the future. And [...]]]></description>

As the World Cup is underway, black, red, and yellow stripe the streets of Beirut as German flags wave in the center of intersections, from balconies, and out of car windows (often from all four). Their reproductions flip-flop underneath rearview mirrors and wrap snugly around Lebanese wrists. I asked a German acquaintance who was visiting [...]]]></description>

This poem is basically about being intrigued by, and falling in love with, someone from a completely different neighborhood of Beirut, and weighing all the societal complications and risks that come with that.

One of my students and (loyal) reader of this blog complained that I complain about Lebanon in the same way his cousin from the U.S. does. You’ve been a little harsh about Lebanon. What!? I’ve been balanced, I thought! I’m not a Lebanon-hater! On the contrary! I can hardly pull myself away from this precious [...]]]></description>
