In this powerful collection of 24 poems, Samer Abu Hawwash gives voice to the trauma and suffering of Palestine, documenting the Gaza genocide and its long-lasting impact on the Palestinian people. Through his intrepid literary journey, Abu Hawwash sheds light on the darkest aspects of human experience, bearing witness to the collective memory of a people. Translated by Robin Moger, these poems are an unflinching exploration of the complexities of war, displacement, and resilience. A testament to the power of poetry as a form of resistance and activism, this collection is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With its rigorously analytical and deeply personal tone, From the River to the Sea is a work of unflinching honesty and unyielding hope.
