“I am not the kind of person who will walk in front of the demonstration…I walk behind the demonstration in order to collect the small things that may fall…”
– Ghassan Zaqtan
This notebook bears the poetry of Ghassan Zaqtan, a Palestinian poet, novelist, and journalist. His verses were written using the traditional tools of calligraphy: bamboo, reed, and ink. On the first page of your notebook, you will find the english translation to the poem penned on the cover, copied from his translated collection of poetry, The Silence that Remains.
My wish is that this notebook inspires you to write what you’ve been longing to record.
From one writer to another…sincerely,
The Poeticwear (Aiyah Sibay)
