In this conversation we talked to poet Hayan Charara on his award-winning poetry, children's books, and writing his books: "Something Sinister", "The Sadness of Others", "The Alchemist’s Diary" and his children’s book "The Three Lucys".

About the afikra Conversations:
Our long-form interview series features academics, arts, and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community still walks away with newfound curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into headfirst. Following the interview, there is a moderated town-hall-style Q&A with questions coming from the live virtual audience on Zoom. Join the live audience: https://www.afikra.com/rsvp
