The fourth and final poem in our Gaza Advent series is by Samar Al Guhssain.
Mihrab, by Samar Al Guhssain, translated from the Arabic by Batool Abu Akleen.
Samar Al Guhssain is an 18-year-old poet from Gaza. This is her first publication.
I remain indebted to the work of Natalie Jabbar of Live in the Layers, Chris Rose and all the staff of the Amos Trust for inspiring this series of posts.
