And Still We Write by Publishers for Palestine
5.0
“My window was
broken my room morphed into an abandoned place eaten by dust I left my pens behind
Now I write on the walls of houses along the road of my displacement and I know that they will wilt, I mean, turn into rubble”
A free collection from Read Palestine Week, but it took me longer to process it. Grief, perseverance, rage, and hope scream from each page. The horrors being inflected on the Palestinians are almost incomprehensible, but we must not look away. The book ends with tangible action items, fitting as every page must be heard by any caring person as call to action.
“Every time I write, I’m afraid. I’m afraid that a missile will, at any moment, pierce through my body, and my story will remain forever trapped in my head, incomplete.”
