About this Event

The face before you is a one of a kind human and emotional document from Gaza.

This collection confronts the weight of generational trauma, the fragility of memory, and the indelible scars of genocide. Moussa refuses to let Gaza's voice fade or be obliterated.

This is the third collection from writer, journalist and podcaster Mohammed Moussa. It is published in February 2026.

"This book is a portal to a Palestinian experience. It offers you access – through steadfast, and devastating poetry – to the gift that Palestinians have given and continue to give to the world. This book is a piece of the Palestinian struggle. Its pages offer a connection to a people who in the face of unimaginable injustice and hopelessness, nevertheless assert their humanity, their solidarity and their connection to their land again and again. Mohammad Moussa’s poems are a window into the unimaginable hell of surviving a genocide. They are the desperate fractured record of a war, and at the same time a monument to survival and resistance. Moussa has made a great well of life and poetry here, amidst the cruelty and deprivation that Israel forces upon Gaza."
