I’m thrilled to share that my poem, ‘Fatherland,’ is featured in a special issue of Homeland, a magazine published by Livina Press (Louisiana, USA). This beautiful piece of art contains poetry, creative non-fiction, and essays from writers from all around the world, reflecting on the topic of homeland.
The book is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and eBook (Kindle).
All proceeds will go to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
To quote Editor-in-Chief Laci L. Felker:
“With so much hate, violence, death, and destruction in the world, I wanted to give others an outlet to express their thoughts and feelings while also supporting a very important cause.
The use of “Homeland” for this issue is multifaceted. It can be a reflection on belonging or the feeling of when “home” is taken away. It can also be used to express the frustration and feeling of betrayal from others within your homeland.
Inside this issue you will find works from people from across the world sharing their personal experiences, thoughts, and laying their emotions bare.
Everyone has their own take on “homeland” and what it means to them–a person, a place, a feeling. It is an honor to share it all with you.”
