Writing from a Warzone

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.

You can download our podcast episodes from all the places you would normally get your podcasts every Thursday and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @bhamlitfest. All of our festival events can be found on our website www.birminghamliteraturefestival.org.
