ACCLAIMED English poet Peter Oswald began a 13-day pilgrimage for Palestine today from Bristol to Parliament Square in London.
The former playwright in residence at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre was working with Gazan girls on a production of King Lear when Israel began its onslaught following the October 7 attacks.
He had been working free of charge for the Hands Up Project, which works with volunteers around the world to teach Palestinian children English.
