The writing in this chapbook was so poignant and beautiful. Every single piece read as if it was meant to flow into the next like water. The poems explored womanhood, identity, nature and land connection, there were aspects of Palestinian indigeneity that connected to the indigenous peoples of the Americas and so much more. The writing itself was crisp and lyrical. I found myself going back to and rereading a few of them, especially Nakba Day Dance. I look forward to reading more by this author.
