Poets for Palestine come together to express their unwavering support and solidarity to all those affected by the on-going Israeli attacks on Gaza. Like so many of you we feel distraught and helpless as events continue to unfold, with thousands of Palestinian civilians, half of whom are children, now dead or in desperate need of aid following Israel's breaches of international law and the Geneva Convention.

This online event will see short readings and pre-recordings from prominent international poets who have openly supported the rights of Palestinian people, and called to end Israeli occupation.

Please donate what you can.

All proceeds will go directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

The evening will be hosted by Hanan Issa, and readers will include:

Lowkey, Chen Chen, Omar Sakr, Mira Mattar, Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Leone Ross, Zaffar Kunial, Natalie Shapero, Zeina Hashem Beck, Joelle Taylor, Jay Bernard, Yousif M. Qasmiyeh, lisa luxx, Shareefa Energy, Alycia Pirmohamed, Rebecca Tamás, Nuar Alsadir, Sanah Ahsan, Maryam Hessavi, Azad Ashim Sharma, Sandeep Parmar, AK Blakemore, Juana Adcock, So Mayer, Inua Ellams, Eve Esfandiari-Denney and Adam Kammerling.

Event organised by Out-Spoken Press, with the support and solidarity of our independent publisher friends at Makina Books, The 87 Press, Hajar Press, Broken Sleep Books, Haymarket Books, Saqi Books, Pamenar Press, Prototype and Bloodaxe Books.
