this is an incredible collection. very prescient and relevant. The Wound, We Deserve a Better Death, my grandfather and home, sobbing without sound were so powerful and had me sobbing. #ceasefirenow
In Gaza,
breathing is a task,
smiling is performing
plastic surgery
on one's own face,
and rising in the morning,
trying to survive
another day, is coming back
from the dead.

Eariler in March I read another poetry collection, Rifqa by Mohammed El-Kurd. If what Rifqa did was try to instill a lense the reader where they saw the Palestinians as not just oppressed but people with spirit and resilience no matter what others thought of them, then Thing you may find hidden in my ear, is subtle and quiet recounting of things too painful to say directly. Its personal, vivid and immersive.
It compels the reader to not just look but feel the things described.
My heart ached as I read more and more.
My only critique would be that some lines often felt repetitive and appeard a lot.
I'm forgoing adding content warnings for this review. Its hard to categorise large injustices in few choice words.
