Hasib Hourani

This epic poem and debut work follows a personal and historical narrative to compose an understated yet powerful allegory of Palestine’s occupation. It depicts a restlessness brought about by dispossession, and a determination to find significance in fleeting objects and fragments. ‘Here is a poetry of passion; a poetry of necessity; a poetry of survival, and a poetry-triumphant’ (Maxine Beneba Clarke).
