Welcome to Poetry and Protest, a RU-vid channel that reveals poetry's power to change the world. It is designed and curated by American writer, translator, scholar & teacher Rebecca Ruth Gould. My recent books include Erasing Palestine, The Persian Prison Poem, and Writers & Rebels. Here you will find videos about poetry, translation & global political protest. In my scholarship, I focus on Iran, Palestine, and the Caucasus.

I post videos on
1) new books of poetry & and poetry in translation 📖
2) the city of Bristol & its history of dissent ✊(also protest beyond Bristol)
3) lectures about the Caucasus 🗻, Iran, Palestine, and world literature 📚
4) being a writer ✍️ & making a living 💰 at it (including writing books)

You will also find videos from writers (James Baldwin, Cornell West) who inspire me plus lectures & interviews from myself & colleagues.
