Contributors include Elmaz Abinader, George Abraham, Nabeel Abraham, Rabih Alameddine, Hayan Charara, Safia Elhillo, Joseph Geha, Hadil Ghoneim, Layla Azmi Goushey, Tariq Al Haydar, Randa Jarrar, Fady Joudah, Joe Kadi, Mohja Kahf, Pauline Kaldas, Laila Lalami, Lisa Suhair Majaj, Khaled Mattawa, Iman Mersal, Philip Metres, Susan Muaddi Darraj, Naomi Shihab Nye, Steven Salaita, Mathew Shenoda, Kamelya Omayma Youssef.
