Since October 8, 2023 the world is witnessing a horrific genocide in Palestine. The leaders of the world didn’t take any short of definitive action to stop the genocide and defeat the brutal and evil force occupying Palestine since 1948 Nakba. People around the world, not everyone but those, usually stand with humanity and fight against apartheid are occupying the streets, demanding the freedom of the Palestinians. Again, not everyone, but only few poets, with compassionate and loving heart for humanity across the world are expressing their concerns against the brutal occupying force massacring the Palestinians. As literary figure they bear the responsibility to stand against all kind of oppressions, discriminations according to the race, religion, nationality and color.

We at Our Poetry Archive believe that, it is our moral responsibility to publish their views in support of humanity, in support of the Palestinians, facing an ongoing genocide and brutal oppression in their homeland occupied by external forces.

So, here we are publishing a special issue, “Beyond The River Beyond The Sea’, a collection of ‘Poems for Palestine”. https://poemsforpalestine.wordpress.com/

We hope, more and more compassionate poets will participate to bear their socio-literary responsibilities in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians.

Thank You,
