A friend recommend I read the poetry of Andrew Calis, and I soon discovered I was gingerly wading into one of the most contentious realities imaginable – the Mideast.
Andrew Calis is a poet whose work has been featured in Dappled Things, The Atlantic, and several other literary publications. He’s published two poetry collections, Pilgrimages in 2020 and Which Seeds Will Grow? just last month. He has a Ph.D. degree in English Literature from the Catholic University of America. He’s a high school English teacher and lives with his family in Maryland.
He’s also a member of a family that belongs to what is the most overlooked group in conflict in the Mideast – Palestinian Christians.
