We were recently interviewed by Oliver Fay for Resonance FM. The show is being broadcast on Tuesday 29th September at 11pm. You can stream the show online here at that time, or alternatively if you live in central London you can tune in to 104.4fm. We are working on archiving the recording too, so keep an eye out on the blog if you miss the show and want to listen to it.

The poet Cathy Wagner suggested I read the blog body on the line. It is a very interesting blog written by an academic Marcy Newman who teaches at An Najah University in Nablus. Recently she posted a very interesting post about the Academic Boycott of Israeli Universities which is worth a read. Also she also posted up videos from the Palestine Festival Of Literature 2009 which I thought might be of interest.
