REMEMBER THEM
Palestine Scholars
Murdered in the Gaza Genocide
Honoring the lives and legacies of Palestinian academics whose voices have been silenced
Fatima Ali Abu Owdah, How Alone You Were (2025)
Poetry in cover art excerpted from Mahmoud Darwish’s epic poem “Madīḥ al-ẓẓil al-‘ālī” (“In Praise of the High Shadow”):
Son of more than my father
How alone you were
The wheat is bitter
In the fields of others
And the water tastes of salt
The clouds are steel
And this star can scar
And you have to live and be alive
And in exchange for an olive
Have to give your skin
How alone you were
