A Map of Absence

Presents the finest poetry and prose by Palestinian writers over the last seventy years. Featuring writers in the diaspora and those living under occupations, these striking entries pay testament to one of the most pivotal events in modern history – the 1948 Nakba.

Features works by major authors such as Emile Habibi, Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan Kanafani and Fadwa Tuqan alongside those of emerging writers, published here in English for the first time.
