 “how we measure time with pain but not without tenderness” 
 

this book is very unique and interesting. especially the english and arabic poems in the same sentences, i think it adds more emotional and meaningful taste to the topic. 

it’s about women, family, god, faith, the country they try to rebuild, and life that they mourn over. it is very personal and intimate. i do feel the emotion in some of the poems, but in other poems, i felt so uncomfortable especially when they talked about Christianity, and described it off-topic out of the faith that i understand.
