- **Event Description**: Join us to explore poetry of palestinian resistanceAbout this EventEnemy of the Sun is a landmark 1970 anthology co-edited and co-translated by Edmund Ghareeb and Naseer Aruri that showcases Palestinian resistance through poetry. More than literature, it’s a cultural and political declaration, resonating with global movements like the Black Panther Party, which circulated its titular poem after author and activist George Jackson’s death.The collection fuses art with activism—poetry becomes a tool for consciousness, identity, and justice. The newly released and expanded second edition ensured its enduring relevance, inspiring new generations to engage with themes of dignity, freedom, and resistance.Featuring voices like Sameeh Al-Qassem and Mahmoud Darwish, the anthology highlights the universal nature of liberation struggles, drawing powerful parallels with African American and Native American activism, among others. Ultimately, Enemy of the Sun affirms literature’s power to transcend borders, build solidarity, and sustain the spirit of resistance.Edmund Ghareeb is joining us on the Busboys stage to share more about this updated edition for the current generation of activists.
