Part of the GAZA: heard series of poems, written by inhabitants of Gaza, read by acting talents from stage and screen
Written by Palestinian writer Sama Shaheen, 'From the Rubble She Spoke' is narrated by Indira Varma.
An emotional and shattering tribute to the home in which the author grew up, to memories founded within once safe walls and to a future lost among the rubble. A poem about the true meaning of Home, a place that lives and breathes. A place to be mourned.
