'To write a will under siege is not surrender – it’s defiance. It says: I existed. I felt. I belonged. I am not yours to erase.' – Reem Ghanayem

In Book of Wills, eighteen Gazan writers share their last will and testament.

A profound exploration of the written word as an act of resistance, the collection includes pieces by several writers who have since been killed, including the poem ‘If I Must Die’ by Rifaat Al-Ara’ir.

Book of Wills is a devastating account of the human cost of war, and bears witness to the lives and memories of the Gazan people.

Reem Ghanayem is a Palestinian poet, researcher and translator of Arabic and English literature. She has translated works by James Joyce, Charles Bukowski and William Burroughs, and her translations have appeared in multiple Arabic magazines. She is the compiler, editor and one of the translators of Book of Wills.
