Stand with Mosab Abu Toha! A Special Evening of Poetry & Solidarity
Wednesday, June 11th, 6:30 p.m.
Poets and writers present readings from the powerful works of Mosab Abu Toha, the beloved Palestinian poet and 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner who is being targeted with threats and deportation.
We stand as one… Mosab's voice must not be silenced.
Readers Include: Cheryl Davila, Rafael Jesús González, Satsuki Ina, Devi S. Laskar, and Lorene Zarou-Zouzounis (More to be announced)
Mosab Abu Toha has been described as the “essential poet embodying the humanity of Gaza.” He is also a scholar, teacher, journalist-- and the founder of the Edward Said Library, the first English-language library in Gaza (now destroyed by the Israeli Defense Forces). Amid the chaos of Israel's all-out invasion of Gaza 19 months ago, Mosab kept writing -- until he and his family were forced to flee to the US. In November 2024, he published his second book of poems, Forest of Noise, to great acclaim.
But this past April, Mosab was forced to cancel his nationwide book tour owing to threats from Betar, the extreme right-wing vigilante organization targeting pro-Palestine voices. Like other Palestinian writers and activists in the US, and like so many immigrants... Mosab fears for his safety and the real possibility of abduction and deportation.
In May, Mosab Abu Toha received the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for journalism, for his writings in The New Yorker.
Read and sign the Statement in support of Mosab Abu Toha initiated by Revolution Books here.
Revolution Books, New York is having a similar program on June 4th.
* * * The birds wake up and look for food.
They chirp on the blossoming trees, laden with fruit,
with peaches, apples, apricots, and oranges.
And we, we are still looking for Palestine.
–Mosab Abu Toha
