There are those who think poetry shouldn’t be political. Those people have no ideas what they are talking about. This is the type of poetry I want to read for the rest of my life. As Noor Hindi said “Colonizers write about flowers.” I don’t want to hear another colonizer gripe about flowers ever again.

I learned a lot from this collection of poems. The language was beautiful in a haunting way. The parallels between what is happening now and what happened then cannot be overlooked. I hope we live to see a free Palestine in our lifetime.

Such a beautiful collection of poems, and I have always said that I don't like poetry. It truly touches your soul.

"Why is it when I dream of Palestine,
that I see it in black and white?"
