The time has come! Maya Abu Al-Hayyat's poetry book "I'm wasting time" is out!

Her poems are full of metaphors that connect everyday philosophical questions, global problems and personal sensitivities. She tries to express uncomfortable truths through linguistic high spirits and sometimes biting sharpness.
Maya Abu Al-Hayyat belongs to a young generation of Palestinian poets who are trying to overcome the wall of the Arabic language and its corresponding thought structures. In her works, she primarily deals with individual feelings about sexuality, war, loneliness and alienation.
