Subheading underneath, also in white, is: 'Roundtable discussion'. Underneath that is photos of all six panellists in two rows of three.

Out with @angelacleland.co.uk and @mayacaspari.bsky.social to hear all about @lukekennard.bsky.social’s Black Bag at @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk. It was very funny trying to cosplay it on the train home. Funny for us, and no-one else.

Please read & share the scholarship story of Gazan poet Haia, ❗️and how you can take one action now to help her and the other scholars trapped in Gaza by UK govt red tape ❗️

When Out-Spoken Press held a MAP fundraiser back in October 2023, we featured the poetry of Haia Mohammed, a young poet in Gaza who had recently sent us some of her work.
Over the course of the unfolding genocide we stayed in touch. She even joined us in the Poetry Room amid all the devastation and upheaval she was experiencing just to work on her craft.

Over the course of the year Haia continued to write on what she was experiencing.
In March 2025, she messaged me saying she was unsure if she would survive the genocide and wanted her poems to defy borders, hold witness and act in service of her people being brutally silenced.

We published her pamphlet, The Age of Olive Trees, in May with all proceeds going directly to her and her family. At the same time, Goldsmiths University in London opened their Palestinian Scholarships programme, offering four Palestinians full scholarships to pursue their studies at the university.
Haia messaged to say she wanted to apply for the scholarship, to come to London and write poetry that held at its centre a testimony to the violent oppression and the endurance of the Palestinian people.

Haia prepared her application under relentless bombardment, mass killings, starvation, and illness. Out-Spoken Press, together with a small committed team to whom I'm forever indebted, supported her with the tools to finish her submission.
The pamphlet received critical acclaim in The Guardian and has continued to win the hearts of readers from all over the world in the space of a few months.

Another place to donate. World Central Kitchen has been doing their best to help Gazans starved by the Israeli government. History will not remember this period kindly. bsky.app/profile/wck....
