Palestinian by award-winning poet and novelist Ibrahim Nasrallah and translated from Arabic by Huda J. Fakhreddine is written during an ongoing genocide in Gaza. These four new poems call out the world’s blindness towards Palestine, its tragedy, and the Nakba that has persisted since 1948.
All tickets sales and proceeds from merchandise will support the Gaza Scholarship Initiative, a mutual aid fundraiser for university students from/in Gaza. This is a sliding scale fundraiser with the goal to reach $5,000.
