Something about Living: Lena Khalaf Tuffaha with Zain Rishi at Palestine Museum Scotland

Join the Edinburgh launch of Lena Khalaf Tuffaha’s poetry collection Something About Living featuring a live reading from the poet, a conversation with Zain Rishi, and an audience Q & A.

Something About Living explores Palestinian life through the lens of language, revealing a legacy of obfuscation and erasure. What happens when language only permits ongoing disasters to be packaged neatly for consumption and subsequent disposal? It was the recipient of the US National Book Award for Poetry 2024, and was shortlisted for the Pen Heaney Prize 2025, and is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
