Description

This poignant collection brings together the remarkable poetry and prose of Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer, whose life was tragically cut short by an Israeli airstrike in December 2023. The book features a curated selection of his work, including the powerful poem "If I Must Die", which gained global attention after his death.

Refaat Alareer's writing is a testament to the human spirit, exploring themes of teaching, literature, politics, and family with remarkable depth and insight. His work offers a powerful voice on the experiences of living under repeated brutal assaults, as well as the generosity and resilience of Palestinians in the face of adversity.

Edited by one of Refaat's closest friends and collaborators, this collection forms a fitting tribute to a remarkable writer, educator, and activist whose voice will continue to assert the power of learning and humanism in the face of barbarity.
