Much of the backbone of the manuscript was written during the pandemic, and then gradually refined over the following years. Many of the ideas had been stirring in me for some years before, based on experiences from having lived in South America, and then from my work in South Africa’s education NGO world, where one project in particular allowed to travel extensively around the country and all nine of its provinces.
This prose poetry chapbook is my humble effort to bring attention to the ongoing catastrophe in the Middle East — Israel’s engineered famine, its genocide, infanticide, and femicide of the Palestinian people. In addition, its total disregard for international law, and the targeting and smearing of anyone who dares to speak out against the brutality and barbarism. The Palestinian people have been systematically dehumanised by Western media outlets – over 18 000 children and 15 000 women (conservative estimates) have been killed by Israel so far.
