Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza by Mosab Abu Toha

dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Please go read this book. I don’t like poetry but this might be the only poems I can read because it is raw, sad, horrible sometimes beautiful. I was near tears because of how unfair and not right people in Gaza live. Why is it beautiful ? Well I am going to give you an example like the author talk about tea and he makes it for everyone neighbours, friends, guests and it’s like saying welcome or Marhaba in Arabic. I couldn’t help but highlight stanzas because the words were striking. I’ll never forget the content of this book, even if I wanted to I don’t think it will be possible.
