The Waiting Place

＂The Waiting Place is an unflinching look at ten young lives suspended outside of time--and bravely proceeding anyway. Each lyrical passage leads the reader from one story to the next, revealing the dreams, ambitions, and personalities of each displaced child. The stories are punctuated by intimate photographs, followed by the author’s reflections on life in a refugee camp. Locking the global refugee crisis sharply in focus, The Waiting Place is an urgent call to change what we teach young people about the nature of home and safety.＂--

Dina Nayeri coauthored the young adult novels Another Faust; Another Jekyll, Another Hyde; and Another Pan, and is the author of the forthcoming adult title The Ungrateful Refugee, about her time spent in a refugee camp as a child in 1989. Of her work with Anna Bosch Miralpeix for The Waiting Place, she says, ＂Each morning we set off, me with my notebook, she with her camera and tripod, to see these brave little people fighting back against the waiting place--the monster that wants to get inside you, to change you.＂ Dina Nayeri lives in Europe.

Anna Bosch Miralpeix is a documentary photographer whose projects include the award-winning Bubble Beirut. A graduate of Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya, she is also a teacher and visual project developer.
