I don’t even have words for this lovely book of poetry, so I’ll let some of my favorite pieces of these poems speak for themselves: 

“Dreams of children and their parents, of listening to songs, or watching plays at Al-Mishal Cultural Center. Israel destroyed it in August 2018. I hate August. But plays are still performed in Gaza. Gaza is the stage.”

“In Gaza, you can find a man planting a rose in the hollow space of an unexploded tank shell, using it as a vase.”

“The houses were not Hamas. The kids were not Hamas. Their clothes and toys were not Hamas. The neighborhood was not Hamas. The air was not Hamas. Our ears were not Hamas. Our eyes were not Hamas. The one who ordered the killing, the one who pressed the button thought only of Hamas.”
