Discover The Shadow: Poems for the Children of Gaza<\/em>, a poignant collection by Palestinian poet Ahmed Miqdad and Maltese-Canadian poet John P. Portelli. Written amidst the horrors of Gaza\u2019s genocide and the personal battle with cancer, these 42 poems bear witness to the intersection of political violence and personal mortality. Through raw emotion and lyrical defiance, the poets forge solidarity across borders, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of erasure.<\/p>\n Featuring evocative art by Malak Mattar and a foreword by Professor Jamil Khader, this collection is a call to remember, resist, and reclaim humanity. A portion of proceeds will support Palestinian relief efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":25729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[496,381,243,619],"product_tag":[724,723],"authors":[711,695,710],"publisher":[701],"class_list":["post-25728","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-colonialism","product_cat-palestine","product_cat-poetry","product_cat-zionism","product_tag-middle-east","product_tag-west-asia","authors-ahmed-miqdad","authors-john-p-portelli","authors-malak-mattar","publisher-horizons-malta","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable","has-default-attributes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/25728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25728"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=25728"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=25728"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=25728"},{"taxonomy":"authors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/authors?post=25728"},{"taxonomy":"publisher","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/darajapress.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publisher?post=25728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
