Born Palestinian, Born Black: & the Gaza Suite by Suheir Hammad

5.0

An excellent read to see the style and work that preceded Breaking Poems which is another short, robust, and powerfully poignant collection. Suheir Hammad manages to bring queerness, blackness, Palestinian-ness altogether for a collection of poetry that predated intersectionality as a well-known fact by 20 years. Keep your eyes on Suheir Hammad--there's more brilliance yet.
