The poems in this brief collection were written between mid-October and mid-December of 2023, by Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Egypt, the UAE, Europe, and the United States. The poems speak both to intense isolation (Samer Abu Hawwashâs âIt No Longer Matters If Anyone Loves Usâ and Hiba Abu Nadaâs âNot Just Passingâ) but also to interconnectedness, with a new poem by Palestinian-American poet Fady Joudah responding to Refaat Al-Areerâs âIf I Must Die,â which was the poem pinned to his Twitter timeline when he was targeted by an Israeli airstrike on December 7, 2023. He died along with his brother, his sister, and his sisterâs four children.
Then, once we are connected through the shared languages of poetry, it is time to act. At the end of this collection, we oïŹer a few pages on how we all can take direct action to end the Occupation and support life, freedom, and justice for Palestinians.
