A World We Might Have Built: Poems for Ceasefire

By J.E. Misz

When violence and warfare erupt half a world away, it can be easy to let the news of suffering fade into the backdrop. What happens when we allow ourselves to continue to wrestle with the pain and sit in the grief?

Written as weekly poetic reflections over the course of the first year of the Israel-Gaza conflict beginning on October 7th, 2023, J.E. Misz explores the rise of the violence, its impact, and the hope for ceasefire. A World We Might Have Built offers an empathic and humanizing approach to challenge the politics of war and imagine a faithful and creative response we can still build together.
