“Palestinians are not the only people to suffer at the hands of settler colonialism and Western white terrorism. Yet we cannot afford to stay quiet about what is taking place there. The state of Israel and the justification for its existence are a crimes against all of humanity. The state is the worst of the human spirit manifested into a fully functioning government.”

I also admired the author's weaving of his experience living under occupation with his experience as a student in Atlanta. The Black liberation and Palestinian liberation movements are so intertwined, and it was interesting to read about that connection from his point of view.
The 4 star rating is definitely 100% a "it's not you, it's me" situation; these poems are beautiful, impactful, and left me with an ache in my heart, but I am honestly too inexperienced, so many of the author's clever metaphors, wordplay, and references went way over my head. I definitely recommend this collection.
