I am the author of Erasing Palestine: Free Speech and Palestinian Freedom (2023), The Persian Prison Poem (2021) and Writers and Rebels: The Literature of Insurgency in the Caucasus (2016). With Malaka Mohammad Shwaikh, I wrote Prison Hunger Strikes in Palestine (2023). My next book is Sex and the State: The Origins of Gender Inequality (forthcoming with Redwood Press, the trade imprint of Stanford University Press).

I translate from Persian, Georgian, and Russian. My most recent translation with Kayvan Tahmasebian, House Arrest: Poems of Hasan Alizadeh (Arc Publications, 2022), was awarded a PEN Translates Award from English PEN. I have a particular passion for translating poetry, much of which I have done with Iranian poet Kayvan Tahmasebian.

I grew up mostly in the US, and have lived and worked in Berlin, Tbilisi, Singapore, Palestine, and Budapest.
