Ta Ne-Hisi Coates' articles for The Atlantic, usually focused on his experiences of American race relations, almost always light up the blogosphere and other social media platforms.

The Palestine Festival of Literature (PalFest) now in its sixth year has been successful in portraying a part of Palestinian culture rarely seen in the media.

RIP Maya Angelou (1928-2014)

Caged Bird

A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind 
and floats downstream 
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
