What is inside the book
A new collection of poetry by poet and media personality Dr. Zakaria Shaheen, published by Fadaat Publishing and Distribution in 2025. In these pages, the poet evokes the memory of Palestinians in the diaspora, the keys to lost homes, and the songs of the mijna that accompany them in the camps.
The texts are pulsating with nostalgia and collective wounding, stressing that poetry and memory are two means of resisting forgetfulness and preserving identity.
The poems echo the collective voice of Palestinians in exile, where poetry becomes a document of resistance, preserving memory and redrawing the homeland in imagination—affirming that words can confront oblivion just as a guard faces the night with patience.
