Mosab Abu Toha's poetry collection is as beautiful as it is devastating. What a heart to pen poetry amidst a wreckage; what a mind to conjure beautiful analogies for decades of occupation; to be able to write with such grace under the bleakest realities. For Palestinians and other nations facing the evil manifestations of greed and power, this is all they have.

Everyone should read this in support of Palestine. A collection of poems from a Palestinian author who brings light to everything that has happened and what life for them is like.
