Biography
Mosab Abu Toha is a Palestinian writer, poet, scholar, and librarian from the Gaza Strip born on 17 November 1992. His debut collection, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear (2022), won the Palestine Book Award and an American Book Award, and was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Walcott Prize for Poetry.

In November 2023, he was detained by the Israeli army while attempting to flee Gaza with his family but was later released after questioning. The war transformed his practice: he began writing for The New Yorker as a chronicle-bearer, documenting the conflict from displacement. This journalism earned him the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 2025, the highest U.S. honor for opinion writing, cementing his role as Gaza's voice to the English-language world.
As a poet and educator, Abu Toha works across literary and scholarly registers—a life-path 5 numerology suggesting adaptability and communication across boundaries. A Capricorn, he channels the sign's disciplined witness-bearing into both archive-building and urgent witness.
