Falastin Hurra! is a poetic witness to the Nakba (catastrophe) in Palestine. Written on the ground while farming in Palestine, Stephen Yorba simply captures what he saw during his time in the West Bank village of Bil’in. As such, the reader should consider these poems as written by the people, and merely transcribed by the author as a witness. Falastin Hurra! speaks to the struggle of the Fellahin (farming class) as they continue their agricultural practice in the midst of zionist aparthied and genocide. Each poem is a witness, seeking solidarity with the beauty of the Palestinian people, their courageous resistance against colonization, and their persistent nature to preserve their own autonomy. It is a testament to their sumud (steadfastness) in the face of the Nakba; the ongoing displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by the zionist state of Israel and the United States.

Stephen Yorba and Rebecca Ustrell collaborated on creating the images featured in Falastin Hurra! through analogue photography using the cyanotype process. All images were developed using natural sunlight on photo sensitive paper at Lopez Urban Farm in the summer of 2025.

Cosecha explores themes centered around growth, gathering, and gratitude. It’s about what it means to reap what we sow in our communities, relationships, land, and selves. We’re inviting work that reflects abundance, reciprocity, transformation, and the balance between giving and receiving.

The ILL Anthology is a carefully curated collection of poems, photography, artwork and voices honoring the life and lasting contributions of Ignacio Lopez. This anthology brings together voices that reflect his legacy in art, culture, and activism, offering a diverse range of poetic expressions that honor his profound impact on the community.

Our Ethos

Curious Publishing was created to showcase artists, poets, musicians, photographers, foodies, and the overall budding creative community in California. In addition to providing publishing services to artists, writers, and creators throughout Southern California, each quarter, Curious Publishing develops a new issue of Curious Magazine which revolves around a central theme, and features up to 15 up and coming artists who reside in Southern California. This professionally designed publication provides a platform for artists to showcase their work, as well as an opportunity to showcase their work publicly and sell their work at the quarterly release events. Each release event raises over funds which goes directly toward Curious Publishing’s mission.
