The event draws inspiration from Kazim Ali’s introduction to the anthology which says:  \n  \n“This collection includes the religious of all stripes; practicing and nonpracticing; the cultural Muslim; the secular Muslim; the feminist Muslim; Muslims of various gender identities\, sexualities\, and national origins. The writers within are converts\, reverts\, “good” Muslims\, “bad” Muslims\, born Muslim\, ex-Muslim\, and trying-to-be or failing-to-be Muslim…This collection of voices ought to be a symphony and cacophony at once\, like the body of Muslims as they are today.” \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public\, presented in a Zoom webinar format. \n  \nTo learn more about the anthology\, please visit the Red Hen Press website. \n  \nAbout the Writers \nKazim Ali was born in the United Kingdom and has lived transnationally in the United States\, Canada\, India\, France\, and the Middle East.
