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

challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This debut collection absolutely blew me away. Toha’s gift for verse is unparalleled. It is a sad, beautiful, horrifying, wonderful look at his life in Gaza, first, as a child and then a father. I’m gonna be thinking about these pieces for a long time, and the interview at the end really helped tie the poetry together. I am normally not much of a poetry person, but this really is causing me to reevaluate my relationship to the genre. A true must read during these horrifying times.
