This was an incredible collection. Like all good poetry, it bring you right at the heart of the emotion which makes this collection particularly devistating. The author shows snippets of his story growing up in Gaza under the terror of occupation as well as those of his family and community. The writing itself was beautiful and the style and inspiration varied. For instance, some poems alluded to other authors and their works, while others included photography.

This was the first collection of poems I've read, so it's hard for me to know how it compares to other poetry, but as Mosab says, a good poem makes people feel things and the feelings conveyed in these poems did really hit me. A harrowing look into the lives of people in Gaza throughout the years in short yet powerful poems. I would recommend this to anyone.

kalo gue bisa kasih 6 bintang juga gue kasih 6 dah. Kata per kata kalimat per kalimat yang dipilih tuh beneran kayak teriak ke pembaca kalo keadaan di Palestina itu segitu parahnya dan kita ga boleh harusnya normalize hal itu. Mereka deserves better than this. ada satu kalimat yang aku inget dan bikin nangis banget. intinya kayak "kami, orang orang Palestina deserve kuburan yang lebih baik." bayangin bahkan untuk dapet kuburan/ acara peringatan kematian pun mereka ga dapet. Doa terbaik untuk Palestina. from the river to the sea, palestina will be free.
