A new poem, written and read by Moe Mousa.

In this episode I talked Areej Kaoud. Areej Kaoud is a Palestinian visual artist and writer raised in Sharjah, UAE and Gaza, Palestine. Her practice draws on her interest in disastrous scenarios and creating narratives. Kaoud’s practice incorporates text, sound, performance, painting and installation to comment on emergency psychology, diaspora and their enactment.

When do birds leave is a new poem by Muhammad Musa.

In this episode, I answered the question that I get asked a lot which one do I prefer being a poet or being a journalist, so enjoy listening Gaza Guy podcast.

Longing is a scar inside the heart and a country's fingerprint on the body. But no one longs for his wound, no one longs for pain or nightmare, but for what was before. For a time where there was no pain except of primary pleasures that melt time, like a sugar cube in a cup of tea, and for a time of heavenly images.
