"Blood Orange" is a highly emotional, important and timely poetry collection by Mx. Yaffa (They/She), a trans Muslim displaced Indigenous Palestinian. Their writings probe the yearning for home, belonging, mental health, queerness, transness, and other dimensions of marginalization while nurturing dreams of utopia against the background of ongoing displacement and genocide of indigenous Palestinians. Join us to hear all about Yaffa's book & to continue standing in solidarity with Palestine. All proceeds of Blood Orange will be going towards queer, trans Palestinian work and on the ground work in Gaza and occupied Palestine.
