Some of the essays were very poignant, but some didn't hit home. The poetry did resound with me, but I've never been big on poetry.

Another nonfiction book I would recommend as necessary reading. It took me far longer than usual to finish this, but it was worth slowing down for.
This collection of short essays, poems, and short pieces make for a powerful cohesive work that was simultaneously heartbreaking and hopeful. Once again I am struck by HOW LONG this brutal occupation and apartheid has been ongoing. As one line said: โThere was anger over occupation, but more anger over why we must always be telling this story.โ

Such a powerful collection - I would love to see what a post-2017 anthology would look like.

What words can I possibly use to express the importance of this book?
The mix of voices make this a tapestry of experiences in Palestine. From Palestinians and people completely unrelated to the genocide happening in Palestine, I felt I began to see more of what the cruelties of Israel mean for daily life in Palestine.
My heart aches. The world has ignored the crimes of Israel for far too long.
