Description
An anthology of poems written by young Palestinians between May and November 2025 as part of an initiative directed by the Hands Up Project with the support of SOAS, University of London.
The poets were mentored by an international group of writers: Rim Aoude, Liam Horan, Zaffar Kunial, Peter Oswald, Alice Oswald and Batool abu Akleen. Alice Oswald says of the astonishing result: ‘It’s important to say that these poems, which we’ve received and read sometimes with deep grief, are not just abject cries, but poems full of healing and energy that speak for limitless patience and resilience. That’s what makes this book so important. It’s about the unstoppable spirit of human recovery.’
Supported by the Palestine Writers Workshop with funding from the UK Research and Innovation Talent and Research Stabilisation Fund.
