Today's poem is "What did I sow to reap all of this death?"
By Mohammed Moussa
Mohammed Moussa is a contemporary Palestinian poet, freelance journalist, and cultural organizer known for his work in centering and preserving emerging creative voices from Palestine. Born and raised in the Gaza Strip, he grew up surrounded by the realities of life under blockade and war, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision, turning his poetry into a tool for witnessing, memory preservation, and intimate dialogue.
He has published six poetry collections, including I Was Born in Gaza (2014), Flamingo (2022), Salted Wounds (2023), Unpublished Poems (2025), Face Before You (2026), and his most recent book, Where to Lay This Heart.
