"Where Longing Resides" is a lyrical and profound journey through memory, exile, resistance, and hope. In this collection, Salim Nazzal weaves together personal remembrance and collective history, spanning from the hills of Galilee to the ruins of Gaza, and from ancient Mediterranean civilizations to modern-day exile.
This work explores the poignant reality of losing a home while carrying its essence within. Olive trees, wheat fields, and village evenings become vibrant symbols of continuity and an identity that refuses to be erased. Above all, this book is a testament to resilience, declaring that even when homes are destroyed and generations scattered, poetry remains a homeland that cannot be confiscated.
