Nina WildflowerFor #WorldPoetryDay I set some rather lovely Palestinian poetry to music.
If you are a musician, setting existing poetry to music is a great way to give yourself ideas for your own songs.🧵
Nothing Remains (Fadwa Tuqan) (English translation)
Using poetry in this way means that someone else has already taken care of the rhythm of the words, so lines scan really well.
Do you have any poetry recommendations?
