5.0
This was my first read for the #Pages4Palestine Readathon, and what an incredibly powerful first read it was. There is something so beautiful and heartbreaking when a poet is able to create such an immense atmosphere of exactly what they want to convey, and Toha did just that. Not even 3 pages into this collection of poetry, and I already understood why it is an award-winning collection of poetry.
I highly recommend, and it is definitely such an important collection to read. Every poem stuck out to me, but a few that feel very vital to point out are:
π΅πΈ Palestine A-Z
π΅πΈ The Wounds
π΅πΈ My Grandfather Was a Terrorist
π΅πΈ Sobbing Without Sound
π΅πΈ My City After What Happened Some Time Ago
π΅πΈ A Litany for βOne Landβ
π΅πΈ Displaced
