Creative Nonfiction
Buried stories that have come to light
Hi fellow writers and poets,
I’ve come across some creative nonfiction pieces I wrote about my experiences with the Beirut port explosion, Lebanon’s economic collapse, and rape I endured at age seventeen.
I realize that with many of you we tend to focus on poetry, but it is my hope that you might choose to read the story below. Many thanks to you all in advance.
If you have longer pieces that have been buried for too long, send them to me in the comments and I’ll be happy to explore them as well. Our reciprocation is what makes the Medium platform so great.
