Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza by Mosab Abu Toha

dark emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

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:
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Palestine A-Z
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ The Wounds
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ My Grandfather Was a Terrorist
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Sobbing Without Sound
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ My City After What Happened Some Time Ago
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ A Litany for β€œOne Land”
πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Displaced
