There’s a poem by Amera Atiyya we’ve been waiting to share. It’s about kites — the kind children make and fly, even now, even there. She writes about them the way only someone still living through this could: with tenderness that doesn’t look away from what surrounds it.
We’ve paired her new poem with the story behind it on Enzo's blog, Words, Colours and Notes — and with an update on The Diary from Gaza, her memoir, now available in paperback.
Two years into displacement, hunger, and violence that hasn’t stopped, Amira keeps writing. Keeps witnessing. Keeps sending her words out, the way a kite goes up even into wind that could tear it down.
We think that’s worth reading. We think it’s worth holding in your hands, too — which is part of why the paperback exists now.
