It was an honor and a privilege to talk with Marcia Lynx Qualey about this book. Without her I wouldn’t be able to be in touch with so many authors and translators in the past few years. Thank you so much. Here is the link:

Reading Syrian Poetry: A Conversation with Daniel Behar
In his new book "Syrian Poets and Vernacular Modernity," Daniel Behar looks at a poetic movement that rose from under official state discourse in 1970s Syria. The text examines unknown poetic texts from Syria from the 1970s onward. In this conversation, Behar looks back on the work of his new book and how Monzer al-Masri gradually became its protagonist.
