Author Information

Abeer Zayyad is a first-generation Palestinian-American lawyer and writer whose poetry is rooted in memory, inheritance, and the enduring spirit of her people. In Palestinian culture, poetry has long served as a vessel for resistance, remembrance, and resilience-a tradition Abeer carries forward in her own voice. Her writing navigates the layered landscapes of identity, mental health, and emotional transformation, inviting readers into the space where personal truth meets collective history. She believes poetry is not only an artform, but a bridge between souls-speaking to the mind, heart, and memory alike.
