Palestine Advent – a new blog series starting tomorrow

Anthony Wilson, ,
A beam of light falls across grey stone steps, making a rainbow prism on the top step.

Starting tomorrow, to mark the season of Advent, a new blog series celebrating the work of Palestinian poets.

Each day during Advent I will post a link to a poem by a leading Palestinian poet.

Thank you to Natalie Jabbar of Live in the Layers and Chris Rose of the Amos Trust for inspiring this series of posts.
