Join us on Tuesday August 19th at Low Bar in Toronto for a poetry fundraiser and celebration of the book launch of My Voice Cannot Be Bombed (available for pre-order through iskra books) by Yahya Al Hamarna. Yahya is a Palestinian writer from Gaza City who “documents the brutalities of war alongside the fragile rituals of everyday life—studying, walking to the park, reading poetry, preparing tea, mourning, surviving.”
Toronto writers will read from Yahya’s debut collection and share their own work. Signed book copies and other prizes will be auctioned off. All proceeds will go directly to Yahya and his family in Gaza.
Doors will open at 7:00pm, with the reading to begin at 7:30pm.
Organized by Independent Jewish Voices UofT and UofT English Graduate Students for Palestine
