challenging
emotional
informative
fast-paced
5.0
A strong collection of modern poetry.
"we will return
that is not a threat
not a wish
a hope
or a dream
but a promise"
From: Nakba
"this is not normal
not rational
but it is
and it was
and it won't stop being
just because you refuse
to acknowledge it"
From: Lit Up
"the world is a messed-up place
and you seem to be profiting nicely"
From: Nothing to Worry About
"you want to battle oppression?
confront your own complicity
in communities of solidarity"
From: Solidarity
"your system of injustice
is coming to an end
and whether you
recognize it or not yet
it will be liberating
for you too"
From: Normalize This!
