Where to Lay This Heart
A New Poetry Collection by Mohammed Moussa
Now Available from the Gaza Poets Society
A Heartfelt Announcement
I am deeply excited to share that my newest poetry collection, Where to Lay This Heart, is available right now in the Gaza Poets Society shop.
This is one of the collections closest to my heart. Its title is a question that feels almost too heavy to carry, too difficult to answer, and nearly impossible to release in these times: Where to lay this heart?
About the Book
Where to Lay This Heart contains more than 200 poems. These are elegies, poems of mourning for a lost city, a lost land, a body weighted with grief, and a heart that no longer knows where to rest.
The poems speak of sorrow that has nowhere to go, of a land that has been taken, and of a body that continues to carry what it can no longer hold alone. They are questions and fragments of answers I have carried inside myself for a long time. I offer them now in the hope that they might find a place in you as well that they might help you feel what I feel, think what I think, and know that there is still somewhere for this grief to take shelter when it grows too tired of living only in one heart, one body, and one land.
