A gut wrenching, heartbreaking, inspiring and hopeful collection of poetry. Powerfully written, Mohammed’s stories of Palestinian struggle against the genocidal establishment of Israel will stay with me for some time. An incredible read.

dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

I highly recommend reading this with a highlighter and pen handy. Everything about this exceeded my expectations which were pretty high after reading reviews. 

Though the poetry was immersive and thought provoking on its own, the author’s direct references, to both historical events and the works of other artists, added an additional, unexpected layer of complexity. I found myself frequently searching the names, authors, poems, events mentioned and making notes in the margin. There is no read quite like the one that motivates you to fully engage with the text, take notes, explore the references. 

I’ve already ordered 3 copies to give as gifts.
