This poetry collection was really powerful. Witty and heartbreaking, Kanazi’s poems brought attention to life in occupied Palestine while also making scathing commentary of the United States’ complicity in Israel’s crimes and its own brutality against Black and Brown people in America.

Powerful poetry. A great introduction for those uneducated about the occupation of Palestine.
