Nasser Rabah

A Palestinian novelist and poet

“The sea is, in theory, infinity: an immense and open expanse. Around Gaza, however, it has become a fence of fear and a siege of oppression and terror, where warships line the horizon, preventing people from even looking at the blue without fear. The Trace of the Tide was once a beautiful road, a meeting place for families and lovers, a breath of freedom. That was before the shell arrived.”
