In ENTER WORLD by Dalia Taha, translated from the Arabic by Sara Elkamel, a Palestinian voice traces the silence living inside history and insists on the enduring beauty of the world. Out November 3.

Writing from Ramallah, Taha captures her proximity to the Gaza genocide—the losses unspeakable and the destruction near total. In ENTER WORLD, poetry emerges as an answer to the violences of war, as a means to encounter and foster resilience. Taha’s lines bear witness to the atrocities in Palestine, but also reflect lyrically on beauty, justice, and humanity.

In Sara Elkamel’s spare and emotionally direct translation, each poem’s title begins with “enter,” an invitation to fill an empty stage, for a landscape to form. The poet’s world materializes: olive trees, hills, inscribed walls in prison cells. These images accrue into an intimate and mythic declaration of resistance through art, of beauty found amid terror. A world is captured, made permanent on the page, even as it is obliterated.

🎨 Cover design by Jeenee Lee, featuring art by Vera Tamari.
