challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

Mosab Abu Toha weaves heartache, hope, and resilence masterfully together in this collection. It is raw and unflinching as if he opened up his soul and invited the reader in. I couldn't stop reading and absorbed the entire collection in one sitting, just as my tears were soaked up by the pages. I am sure to return to these poems again and again.

Mosab Abu Toha is brilliant, bringing light to the atrocities Palestinians face to this day. Must read!

A powerful collection, strengthened even more by the interview included in the back. 

I am neither in nor out.
I am in between.
I am not part of anything.
I am a shadow of something.
At best,
I am a thing that
does not really
exist.
I am weightless,
a speck of time
in Gaza.
But I will remain
where I am.

I cried multiple times reading this. The poems are beautiful and terribly sad.
