I saw Hassan Qatrawi's words yesterday, and I wept. Thank you for sharing this anthology, for your poems and words, for your fierce activism, Ramona. You are an inspiration.
Beautiful, beautiful poem, Ramona. Resonant and stunning. The cover illustration by Ellie Zogia (Ez Naive) for 'We Were Seeds' is vibrant, powerful, striking, lovely!
I wish this book of poems well. May it help bring some peace to those who have lost so much. Unfortunately, I don't think this is over by any means. This is only just a pause long enough for Trump to have his inauguration without the chaos for a day. You can bet that Israel will violate the ceasefire, much like it did with Lebanon. Then, after the forty two days, they will start the ethnic cleansing once again. May the Gods have mercy on their souls.
I sense you're right, only I'm giving it a couple of days at the most... If we can even call it a ceasefire at all when they have free hands to bomb Gaza for 11-12 hours a day. And we shouldn't forget IOF have no constraints on what they can do in the West Bank. It's all sadly looking grim and it's enraging.
Absolutely right - to write, if one is able to, is a sacred duty in times like these. A wonderful effort with the anthology and a beautiful poem.
