The Moon That Turns You Back: Poems by Hala Alyan

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

I heard Alyan read Tonight I’ll Dream of Nadia and [Political] Dialogue at an event, and they were much more impactful than reading them in this collection. I’d like to hear the other works in here read aloud. The different styles of poetry were a bit difficult to get used to but they also intrigued me. I enjoy Alyan’s prose more.
