My Voice Cannot Be Bombed is a searing collection of poems written amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In his luminous debut, Yahya Al Hamarna documents the brutalities of war alongside the fragile rituals of everyday life-studying, walking to the park, reading poetry, preparing tea, mourning, surviving. From the cramped intimacy of displacement tents to the imagined serenity of university lectures and Real Madrid matches, Al Hamarna crafts a poetics of survival: one that refuses despair and insists on the unconquerable dignity of the Palestinian people. Through diaristic reflection, stark testimony, and vivid lyricism, Al Hamarna's work resists the machinery of occupation with quiet force. With grace and fury, My Voice Cannot Be Bombed speaks from the rubble and into history.
Published as the third volume in Iskra Books' Red Poetry Series, this poignant and timely volume is a testament to the enduring spirit of Palestinian resistance and the power of poetry and voice in the face of annihilation.
