In the Absence of Peace - Poetry Collection by Shahd Safi

In the Absence of Peace

My Memories of My Home: Gaza, before they fade

"A poetry collection born from memory, loss, and an unbreakable attachment to home."

In these poems, I return to Gaza as it once was, through childhood streets, family voices, the sea, and quiet moments that shaped a life before destruction became daily language.

Written as an act of remembrance and resistance, this collection preserves fragments of a home threatened by erasure. It speaks of love under siege, of survival that does not ask for heroism, and of grief that lives alongside tenderness.
