Words for a Genocide Age
The collection *I Am Not the One Writing to You* by Palestinian poet Yazid Jabr Shaath, published in 2026 by the General Union of Palestinian Writers and Authors, runs to 120 pages and explores poetry’s ability to express the genocide in Gaza. The reading argues that this experience demands a search for new language and imagery that move beyond familiar vocabulary of tragedy, without turning the poem into a report documenting death or sacrificing its aesthetic autonomy. Its central wager is to bring testimony and beauty together, preserve the voices of the absent and Palestinian memory, and foreground what remains of life and hope.
