The fourth poem in our Palestine Advent series is by the Palestininan poet Fatenah Al-Gharra, translated by Anna Murison and the Poetry Translation Workshop.
Movements, by Fatenah Al-Gharra.
Fatenah Al-Gharra was born and educated in Gaza. She now lives in Belgium. You can find other poems of hers here.
With thanks to Chris Rose and Natalie Jabbar for inspiring this idea.
