On Wednesday February 23 at 12pm, join Mel Cranenburgh on Backstory for a special live streamed In Conversation with award-winning Arab-Australian poet Omar Sakr.

They’ll be chatting about the release of his debut novel Son of Sin via Affirm Press, a poetic narrative that follows a young queer Muslim torn between faith and fear - spanning generations and geographies, from Turkey to Lebanon, to Western Sydney.

You can listen via FM, digital, online and the RRR app, or watch the video stream live on Facebook, Youtube and the RRR website.

Triple R acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate today and pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
