Ballad - A Spectrum of Lebanese Experiences

Ballad is a periodical born from the soil of Lebanon—an anthology of raw, resonant literary work by everyday voices rooted in the here and now. These are not just writers; they are witnesses, storytellers, and survivors. Each piece has emerged through a communal workshop process, guided by editor and facilitator Mona Issa, who carved space for untold stories to rise.

This collection is a tribute to the overlooked, the unfiltered, the deeply felt. It is a reminder that literature doesn’t live only in ivory towers—it grows in the cracks of reality, in kitchens, in shelters, in memories. Ballad holds the pulse of a people, and invites you to feel it.
