In light of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza we will be publishing a limited-edition poetry anthology as a mark of solidarity and to raise much-needed funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians. We commit to a 100% donation policy.

The Gaza Health Ministry has recorded at least 42,602 deaths since the violence began last October. This is a conservative figure. The medical journal The Lancet earlier this year estimated that the true number of deaths in Gaza could be more than 186,000.
