Second Edition – 2022 Community Road Publishing Preface to Second Edition Huwarra Watercolors was originally published after my 2009 trip to Palestine when I stayed in Huwarra and nworked with Addameer Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association. The poetry describes that trip and many others. Over ten years later, conditions for the Palestinians have only worsened and the world’s longest military occupation continues. Palestinians remain steadfast and resist the destruction of their homeland. I can only hope republishing my book will help inspire the next generation of Palestine activists.

Informazioni sull'autore
I have been a human rights activist for over fifty years from the anti-racism and anti-war movements to the struggle for a united Ireland and a free Palestine. I have been a more serious photographer and poet for the last ten years or so. I'm married to Elaine - an artist, psychotherapist, and my love and life inspiration. Two of her paintings are in "Huwarra Watercolors". It's very very difficult to get books of political poetry published - especially those that support a free Palestine. Just had to do it myself. Huwarra Watercolors is a book of poetry, photographs, and paintings that cover four different trips that I took to Palestine - a place of great beauty, hospitality, and military occupation. Huwarra Watercolors describes my experience of leaving home, entering Palestine, and returning home to a world that had a very different view of my support for the Palestinian people.
