You Can Be the Last Leaf: Selected Poems by Maya Abu Al-Hayyat

4.5

An emotional poetry collection by a Palestinian author on loss of self, living under occupation, and resilience. Some of these are so painful and had me tearing up, while others had a lighter, more dreamy air to them. I thought this was a fantastic collection. 

That Smile, That Heart (poem) broke me but was my favorite.
