A collection of 22 original poems by Shahd Alnaouq \/ Zines from Gaza, Coastal Lines press","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuiet notes of the heart form a melody of survival in this collection of 22 original poems. A voice is not just a voice in Gaza. It is a pulse and a testament to the strength of the human spirit to outlast the severest measures of force and demolish brutal arguments with tender truths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of poems is offered to every soul who still believes in their own humanity. To those whose hearts are not numb, to those who still carry tenderness in the midst of ruins, to those who love Gaza with its men and women, its children, its tents, its alleys, its steadfastness and its sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the faithful ones who never stop following our news, who whisper prayers for us between their breaths. To the lovers, who, despite impossible circumstances, still dare to love their families, their sons and daughters, their streets, and their homelands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery word you will read here is rooted in truth. I have seen it, lived it, breathed it. As you move through these pages, you may find yourself walking among us, hearing our cries, sharing our stubborn hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you think you are too strong to be moved by a poem, turn the page. If your heart is made of glass and cannot bear the weight, turn the page as well—but keep a tissue close by. For here, tears are not weakness; they are a testimony of life. In Gaza, we do not break under destiny—we sharpen ourselves against it. No occupation, no tank, no F-16 can silence the human pulse that insists on singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShould I introduce myself? Perhaps I should. But what can I say except: I am Gazan.? Gazan by blood, by language, by time, by loss, and by love. I write to you from the core of Gaza’s midnight, where bombs fall louder than sleep, where neighbors vanish, and where the only witness left to my heart is paper. I do not know if these poems will ever reach you, or if I will be carried away as a martyr before finishing them. But if you are reading this, then you hold not just poems, but fragments of a beating heart that refuses to be silenced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDearest readers—you are our last hope. Do not let the world blind you. Be seekers of truth. Be defenders of what is human, wherever life and fate may cast you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ChertLuedde Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60093707321678,"sku":null,"price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/6571\/9987\/files\/bdeeb6c6-8f93-460c-9de1-9bd9490ed59f_499x710_f1d7879b-e855-492c-9be3-eaf881c5b331.jpg?v=1783695977","url":"https:\/\/books.chertluedde.com\/products\/our-pulse-against-the-drones-a-collection-of-22-original-poems-by-shahd-alnaouq-zines-from-gaza-coastal-lines-press","provider":"ChertLuedde Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
