You can feel the pain and sorrow bleed from the pages. 

The author is a very talented poet.

I am not a poetry person but "Water & Salt" which I read last year and punched me in the gut made me think, hey, maybe I should do more of this. I'm so glad I read this collection by Mosab Abu Toha, a Gazan poet, of the life, of the horrors, of the death and destruction. It is a hard collection but an absolutely necessary one.
