About this Event
Welcome to the JVP NNJ Book Discussion Event!
Come join us for a lively and engaging book discussion about Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza by Mosab Abu Toha. Published in English in 2022, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear won the 2022 Palestine Book Award, the 2023 American Book Award, Arrowsmith Press’s 2023 Derek Walcott Poetry Prize, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry.
Heart-wrenching and tender, Abu Toha paints a picture of life in Gaza from the perspective as a native Gazan, first as a child and later as a young father. The scenes of violence and destruction of living through four brutal military attacks are set against a landscape of humanity and joy as resistance of Palestine and its people. The reality of life in Gaza under siege emerges from the page like a flower blooming from rubble.
