This is a collection of pieces of writing across several mediums. I have shared some excerpts from academic work, non-fiction writing, and free-writing. A lot of my academic practice was deeply motivated by the question of memory, resistance, and conflict resolution. As a Palestinian-Jordanian, it is impossible not to ground my work in our region. As a dramatic writer, I have challenged myself to write characters that are outside of me. As a general writer, I simply bleed onto paper. My thoughts become yours. In the end, we are all but a collection of stories. — Hayat
