Bearing Witness for Gaza
Bearing Witness for Gaza is a sweeping, urgent, and unflinching account of Gaza’s crisis: rooted in history, legally grounded, morally charged, and globally contextualized. As such it is a compelling collection of articles that explores Gaza far beyond what daily headlines reveal. Spanning history, politics and media, these essays trace the roots of Gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe from colonial legacies and the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which paved the way for decades of dispossession, to the Nakba, military occupation, blockade, and cycles of war. They examine American complicity, European silence, evangelical politics and shifting public opinion. They also delve into how media framing shapes what the world sees and what it ignores. It covers geopolitics, human rights, resistance, and cultural identity.

Testimonial
Thoughts and reflections shared by readers in response to the books.
Manchester
This collection is thoughtful and beautifully restrained. The poems do not simply describe famous artworks, they converse with them. The pairing of verse and short essays adds depth without overwhelming the reader, making this a quietly rewarding read.
Dublin
Bearing Witness for Gaza is rigorous and uncompromising. The essays are well researched and clearly argued, drawing important connections between history, politics and media narratives. It is not comfortable reading, but it is vital.
Limerick
Image and Echo succeeds in slowing you down. Each poem invites reflection, encouraging you to linger with both the artwork and the words. The balance between emotional response and historical context is handled with real care.
Cork
This book is confronting but necessary. It offers historical clarity while never losing sight of human consequence. The writing is measured yet deeply affecting, and it challenged many assumptions I did not realise I was carrying.
Galway
What struck me most was the elegance of the language. The sonnets and blank verse feel deliberate and well judged, never forced. It made me return to artworks I thought I already knew, seeing them with fresh eyes.
Oxford
This is a book that demands engagement. It does not tell the reader what to think, but it does insist on attention and responsibility. Its exploration of media framing and global silence is particularly strong and unsettling.
London
This is a refined and intelligent collection. The author clearly respects both poetry and visual art, and that respect carries through every page. It is ideal for readers who enjoy literature that rewards attention and patience.
