Thu Jul 31, 7:30 PM
Lamakaan
Lamakaan invites you to a Poetry Reading session by Dr. Fatima Shahnaz on ‘GAZA PALESTIA – A Journal in Poetry’

'Fatima Shahnaz will give a reading from her upcoming collection of poetry called “GAZA PALESTIA – A Journal in Poetry” Started immediately after the strikes on Israel on October 23, 2025, the poems record the evolving nightmare of the heinous crimes against humanity and genocide of the Palestinian peoples in Gaza and the West Bank by Israel’s IDF. Portrayed in graphic pictorial imagery, the mutilation and killings of children and civilians, the dismantlement of cities, displacement and identity crisis of the Palestinian peoples are an eye-opener about warfare. Shahnaz is a widely featured poet who read her poetry in New York and in India. Her dramatized reading reveals her experience as a theatre director and actor in New York. An advocate of international human rights, she has written over twelve books of poetry, including ‘Sarasvati,’ ‘Khaki- Poems on Pulwama, ’ ‘Tiger in the Twilight,’ ‘Reclaim the Night,’ and others.'

All are Welcome!
