    To Remain
    The Sun InterviewBy Judith HertogTo RemainRaja Shehadeh on Living through Destruction in Palestine

    I have been thinking that people all over the world these days are feeling a sense of despair because, like me, they are seeing the destruction of the world as they knew it. But it has occurred to me that the real destruction of my world happened in 1948, when the Palestinians lost Palestine.

Outreach

The Indiana Prison Writers Workshop

July 12, 2022

Thanks to reader support, we have sent The Sun free of charge to men and women behind bars for decades. We began sending the magazine to the Indiana Prison Writers Workshop after we received founder Debra Des Vignes’s letter to the editor mentioning her program teaching creative writing to inmates. In June of this year, the Indiana Prison Writers Workshop was awarded a grant from the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation for a recidivism study. Congratulations to Debra and the program!

We’re grateful for the ability to offer The Sun to those in need through partnerships with organizations like the Indiana Prison Writers Workshop. If you’d like to learn more about our complimentary subscription program or other community partnerships, please contact our director of development and outreach, Molly House, at [email protected].

    In each issue of The Sun you’ll find some of the most radically intimate and socially conscious writing being published today. In an age of media conglomerates, we’re something of an oddity: an ad-free, independent, reader-supported magazine.
