A review by twirlsandwhirls
Birthright by George Abraham

5.0

George Abraham has written complicated poems about love, family, history, Palestine, and belonging. There are gorgeous lines, novel poetry forms, and complex conversations all happening in this collection. At times, the poems are dense and hard to parse, at others they are more freely flowing. I love that they thanked the slam spaces where I originally heard their voice and poems around Boston. I love that these poems forced me to think about what it means to lose a country, what it means to be queer, what it means to love family.
