About Are You Listening?. . .

Based on her popular one-woman play, Zaynab Mohammed’s Are You Listening? combines memoir and poetry to tackle topics of war, displacement, and immigration. Fleeing war-torn Lebanon, Zaynab eventually finds her freedom by listening to herself, others, and the earth. This book creates a tapestry where hope can grow.

Are You Listening? is a journey of sound, sight and story. Blending poetry and memoir, the book explores intergenerational displacement, and speaks the truths of a woman who loses her innocence at a young age due to cultural inequity. Through the painful knocks of colonization, Zaynab Mohammed finds her freedom by leaning on the art of listening to herself, to others and to the earth. Are You Listening? is a carefully woven tapestry of transforming pain into beauty, into magic, and into possibility.

Zaynab Mohammed is a writer and an award-winning performance poet whose work pays homage to the cultures of her Iraqi, Lebanese and Palestinian ancestors. Inspired by her family’s hardships, Zaynab is a visionary creative who has been healing herself through the written word, by sharing her story and by giving her audience reflections into love and empowerment. Are You Listening? is her first book, adapted from her one-woman play of the same title that has been touring since 2023. Zaynab lives and works in Nelson, where she hosts the Nelson Poetry Slam. www.zaynabmohammed.com.
