In this episode we interview Omar Sakr, an award-winning poet born and raised in Western Sydney to Lebanese and Turkish Muslim migrants. He is the author of These Wild Houses (Cordite Books, 2017), which was shortlisted for the Judith Wright  Calanthe Award and the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry, as well as The Lost Arabs (University of Queensland Press, 2019), which won the 2020 Prime  Minister’s Literary Award. He is the first Arab-Australian Muslim to win this prestigious award.
