Sister

A mismanaged labour in an understaffed hospital

this is the first time Lily has laid bare everything

peppered with much eating and drinking

a poet and a king vie for her love

When an young man is found stabbed to death in a side street in Newcastle city centre in the run up to Christmas

For the first time

Beck Dorey-Stein was just scraping by in DC when a posting on Craigslist landed her

Orphaned by an act of senseless violence that took their mother from them

Then one day she notices some other writing in the diary - writing that isn't hers

But with a gin revolution currently sweeping the world

'Falastin' is a love letter to Palestine

and understanding
