Sumud

In Sumud, Abeer Zayyad draws on the Palestinian spirit of steadfastness to explore themes of identity, exile, and belonging. Across seventy-four pages of intimate yet political verse, the poet captures the intersections of personal memory and collective history. These poems move between landscapes and generations, honoring stories of survival while imagining a liberated future. Both a love letter to the homeland and a chronicle of resistance, Sumud invites readers to remember, to resist, and to remain unshaken.
