Author Description

G A Z A is not merely a book of poems - it is a living testament. Through twenty poems and a single enduring heartbeat, K. T. Hashim weaves the story of Palestine - from the Prophetic age to the present - tracing centuries of conquest, faith, betrayal, and endurance. In these verses, Jerusalem remembers the footsteps of Caliph Umar, Saladin's mercy rises again, empires fall, and the voice of Gaza breaks through siege and silence. Children who write their wills, mothers who whisper "Alhamdulillah" through grief, and journalists who fall with truth on their lips - all find a place in these pages. Each poem bears witness: that though the land bleeds, its spirit ascends. From Graves and Ashes,
