"These poems and reflections do not exist separately from their authors, nor from the place and time in which they were composed. They are not here for passive reading. And so, at the end of this collection, we leave you with suggested actions. As poet Rasha Abdulhadi has written:
'Wherever you are, whatever sand you can throw on the gears of genocide, do it now.'”
Some really great poems that highlight the ongoing horror of the genocide. The "Where I Write Now" segments inserted throughout do a good job situating it in the space and time of Gaza today so that the reader doesn't forget that they're not doing enough to fight back against injustice.
