She was involved in the recent publication of *Lives Lost: In Search of a New Tomorrow*, a translation of a powerful poem by Iranian poet Saeed Yousef that remembers the massacre of political prisoners in Iran in the 1980s. They talk about the book, the history it remembers, and the importance of grassroots remembrance of state violence, particularly through literature, art, and poetry.
