This is haunting and heavy poetry collection. I’m grateful Abu Toha has been able to share these wounds with the world. All the trigger warnings. 

After Allen Ginsberg

“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed in a tent, 
looking for water and diapers for kids; 
destroyed by bombs;
a generation under the rubble 
of their bombed houses;

I saw the best brains of my generation 
protruding from their slashed heads.”
