These 24 poems are an intrepid literary journey into the Gaza genocide, linked to Palestine's long years of existential trauma and documenting the universal human questions so many are asking about today, all through a lexicon that expresses with graphic poetic sensibility the gazes, the closed, open, dead eyes of famished families and fragmented little corpses.
