Biography
A Palestinian novelist and poet, born in Gaza in 1963. His poetry collections include: Running After a Dead Gazelle (2003), One of No One (2010), Passers-by in Light Clothes (2013), Water Thirsting for Water (2017), and Elegy for a Robin (2021). His novels include About an Hour Ago (2018) and The Gazelle’s Fence (2024). Several of his poetry collections have also been translated into a number of languages.
The sea is, in theory, infinity: an immense and open expanse. Around Gaza, however, it has become a fence of fear and a siege of oppression and terror, where warships line the horizon, preventing people from even looking at the blue without fear. The Trace of the Tide was once a beautiful road, a meeting place for families and lovers, a breath of freedom. That was before the shell arrived.
