Sundress Publications is pleased to announce that the recipient of the 2024 Microgrant for Palestinian Writers is Summer Farah. Farah will receive $500, a one-week residency at the Sundress Academy for the Arts in Knoxville, TN, and the potential for publication.
Summer Farah is a Palestinian American writer, editor, and zine-maker from California. Her chapbook, I could die today and live again (Game Over Books, 2024), explores a childhood corrupted by empire, inspired by The Legend of Zelda. Summer is a member of the Radius of Arab American Writers and the National Book Critics Circle. She is calling on you to recommit yourself to the liberation of the Palestinian people each day.
We would also like to recognize this year’s finalists: Leena Aboutaleb, Sarah Afaneh, Nada El-Omari, Jaye Nasir, Jad Salfiti, Nada Samih-Rotando, Veera Sulaiman, and Issam Zineh.
