Enemy of the Sun — How Palestinian Poetry Became a Weapon of Resistance | FO° Podcasts
In this episode, Founder, CEO & Editor-in-Chief Atul Singh sits down with Dr. Edmund Ghareeb, renowned scholar, historian and author of Enemy of the Sun: Palestinian Poetry of Resistance. Together, they explore the remarkable story behind the book’s publication, its connection to the Palestinian struggle, and how poetry became a powerful voice of identity, resistance and survival.
Ghareeb recounts how the book, Enemy of the Sun, featured works by iconic poets such as Mahmoud Darwish, Samih al-Qasim and Rashid Hussein — figures who turned Palestinian poetry into political testimony. The conversation traces the book’s unlikely publishing journey, its ties to calls for resistance like the Black Panther movement and its rediscovery decades later.
The discussion delves into the intersection of politics, literature, and history, exploring how Palestinian poetry connects with broader human struggles, from apartheid and exile to freedom and dignity.
This powerful conversation captures not just the Palestinian cause, but the universal resilience of those who fight to be heard.
