[W4G] Nasrallah, Ibrahim: Palestinian

World Poetry Books, paperback

Publication Date: October 1, 2024

Publisher Marketing:  Written during an ongoing genocide in Gaza, these four new poems by award-winning Palestinian poet and novelist Ibrahim Nasrallah call out the world’s blindness towards Palestine, its tragedy, and the Nakba that has persisted since 1948.

“I write now so that I do not die,” Nasrallah insists, and “every time they try to erase us, we become clearer.” These poems of resistance and agency are dedicated to Gaza, that small strip of land, which has become as large as the world, and whose struggle for survival is a project to liberate the world from darkness and tyranny. Translator Huda Fakhreddine’s interview with the author completes this special edition chapbook.
