Purchase: A Gaza of Siege and Genocide by Yahya Ashour
Gazan poet and Mizna Fellow Yahya Ashour shares a special electronic book of excerpted verses from poetry he has written while in exile accompanied by his own illustrations.
In solidarity with Ashour’s nineteen family members who must escape the dire situation in Gaza, Mizna is supporting Yahya Ashour to fund their evacuation through the sale of this e-book.
All funds from the sale of A Gaza of Siege and Genocide will go directly to assist his family’s escape to Egypt. Once you have paid, you will receive an email with a special link to the electronic book. Please do not share with anyone, but rather encourage others to buy the book themselves, thereby amplifying the support of the Ashour family.
Co-Sponsored by Mizna and Columbia University School of the Arts
