I'm not one to read poetry because I often find it very intimidating and hard to understand but I decided to give this one a chance and I'm so glad I did. This was beautiful and devastating. I really love this type of poetry where the main goal is to invoke emotions and even the author himself in the interview at the end explained it in a similar way. And now my favourite poems from this collection:

- Palestine A-Z
- Palestinian Streets
- Sobbing Without Sound
- A Litany for “One Land”
- We Deserve a Better Death
- US and THEM
- The Wounds (this one broke me)

I really really recommend this even if u don't read poetry at all, it's very approachable.
