Regretfully, I had to leave all my books behind. I couldn’t bear to make the choice between my beloveds, so I left them all.   Give them back. Give us back our beds. Give us back our offices. And give us back our books.
Nabil S., from "It Was All Songs: A Letter From Gaza" translated from the Arabic by Sarah Aziza, published in Mizna on February 12th, 2024. You can read the entire essay here.

bon, you know me, je ne peux pas m'empêcher d'écrire de la fanfic, et Ellana n'allait pas y échapper. Ma relecture annuelle du Pacte m'a lancée dans une relecture de la Quête, et il y a tant de moments où la relation Edwin/Ellana est simplement suggérée, laissée à notre imagination, et évidemment mon imagination a beaucoup de choses à dire. à écrire. Premier texte d'une petite série qui se concentrera sur les interactions entre mon duo préféré de la saga : la marchombre libre et indépendante, et le seul homme qui ne lui a jamais demandé de le suivre. Pour le lire, c'est par ici <3
N'hésitez pas à commenter/donner votre avis, ça me ferait très plaisir !!

I know it’s not much in the face of everything but I have been finding hope & resilience in palestinian poetry these past few weeks and I created a google drive file of poetry collections by palestinian poets that I will keep updating as I keep on reading. I also recommend checking out @fiercynn’s palestinian poets series for more poets + poetry available online
