  • Summary

  • This week’s episode is our specially-curated Writing from a Warzone event. The Birmingham
    Literature Festival team brought together novelist Priscilla Morris, whose family fled Sarajevo during
    the 1992 siege, with poet Parwana Fayyaz, who is an Afghan refugee. The event also included an
    interview with Ukrainian novelist Lyubko Deresh, who is still in Ukraine. They were speaking to Dr
    Amanda Beattie, from the Centre for Migration and Forced Displacement at Aston University.
