Exciting Announcement - Yalda Literary Award for Poetry

Poem “On the Night of Invasion”

Receives the Yalda Literary Award from Qafiyah Review

I appreciate the mission, vision and dedication of Celina Naheed and the Qafiyah Review. I am so grateful to be receiving the Yalda Literary Award for Poetry by the Qafiyah Review. It is my great honor to represent my family and my homeland through art and poetry. With violent cultural erasure, rampant discrimination, shadow-bans and the censorship of Palestinian voices, it is hard to know if work and actions will ever reach others. This recognition has given me inspiration to continue educating, speaking truth to power and taking actions to create a more peaceful world. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to Celina Naheed and her team at Qafiyah Review. They do so much to support and amplify the voices of Middle Eastern and North African authors and artists as well as their communities.
