Summary

Matt and Daniel are joined by poet Ahmed Sarsour live from Deir al Balah in Gaza to hold forth on the reality of daily life in a war zone, hopes for the future, and making art in the midst of chaos.

We had a few technical issues given the precarity of the connection, and you’ll notice that Matt exits early without notice due to his own tech mishap, but we’re all happy to bring you word directly from Gaza this week.
