*I’ve had some difficultly finding existing lists of Palestinian poetry collections online, so I put together this running list for others who are looking. All links direct to Bookshop to support poets and local bookshops (not sponsored). If you have suggestions to add or revisions to this running list, please get in contact here.
Consider requesting these titles be added to circulation at your local library to further support Palestinian poets, access, and history. Most US libraries have an online or in-branch form where patrons can request titles.
