Who Shall Remember How? Palestinian Poets Respond
By Sara Abou Rashed, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Jessica Abughattas, Deema K. Shehabi, Elizabeth Metzger
December 4, 2023
"... These poems are in conversation with the work of people across Palestine and in the diaspora, and it is my hope as a reader and editor of poetry to bring you their voices, celebrate the beauty and power of their language, and acknowledge their pain and grief in the context of the genocide their people face. I stand with these poets in a call for a ceasefire, an end to the violence and oppression. I am honored to have curated these poems and encourage you to read more of their important work beyond this feature." —Elizabeth Metzger
