Earlier in February, I was contacted by Mariam Alkhateeb, a 20-year old poet and medical student from Gaza, to add her poem to the Warp & Weft Archive. I was immensely moved. I collaborated with my friend Mazin M Hameed and together we translated the poem into English from the original Arabic. I asked my dear friend Ahyeong Kim to read the poem and an audio recording was published very quickly on February 26th. Mariam is now trying to leave Gaza along with her family. As the bombings and ground invasion come closer and closer to Rafah, it is a matter of life and death. May I urge my friends to support in any way they can – not just by liking and sharing this post (pls do), but also by contributing whatever is possible here. Thank you.
