From the heart of a wounded Gaza, where dreams dare to rise amid the ashes of loss and abundance, the Gaza Poets Society unveils the first release of ‘Gaza Verse’—a journal woven from the threads of resilience, defiance, and unyielding hope. This is no mere publication; it is a constellation of voices, a tapestry of souls, each poem and artwork a heartbeat pulsing through the chaos that surrounds us.
To witness this journal’s birth is to cradle a miracle. Despite the storms that rage around me, my city, and the luminous poets and artists who poured their spirits into these pages, “Gaza Verse” stands as a testament to our unbroken will. It is a dream made manifest, a beacon of light carved from the shadows of letdown.
My heart brims with gratitude for the brilliant designers and editors whose hands shaped this sacred vessel. Your tireless devotion breathed life into this project, transforming whispers of hope into a chorus that will echo far beyond our borders. Without you, this radiant work would remain a fleeting vision.
May this be only the first of many editions, a growing symphony of voices that sings of Gaza’s enduring spirit. Let Gaza Verse be a promise—to create, to resist, to dream, and to rise, always.
