Rifqa by Mohammed El-Kurd

5.0

Copped from @bandungbooks, recommend by @palestinianyouthmovement: Mohammed El-Kurd's debut collection is named after his grandma, who is older than Israel itself. Capitulated in the news recently with struggles to #SaveSheikhJarah, their neighborhood in Juresalam, El-Kurd's poetry puts a premium on anger. And rightly so because the brutality of Israeli settle colonialism is barbaric! The words in this book add to the lexicon of liberation.
