Exhibit G: Poems, Essays, and Photographs of Gaza

By Joudah, Fady

First published 2026

"This is poetry of the highest order, and a stunning reminder of what words can do.”—Omar El Akkad "Hold this book, read every word, study every picture, notice the prints you leave behind—a reminder that no one’s hands are clean."—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams From National Book Award Finalist Fady Joudah, a collection of poems, essays, and photographs that offers a Palestinian representation of not only the staggering grief, but the unwavering resilience and prevailing life force of a people and place enduring genocide. Fady Joudah writes from the split perspective of a Palestinian American physician caring for the sick while watching the destruction of Gaza from the United States, a nation complicit in that destruction. He locates the paradox of his position everywhere: in the seed a sparrow eats from his proffered hand; in his writing in English, the oppressor’s language; in the faces of Palestinian children receiving meals from aid kitchens—a glimpse into what his life could have been, and what is being lost in a war disproportionately impacting children and their families.
