 For more of his work, you can visit www.PoeticInjustice.net or follow him 
 on twitter: @Remroum.\n\nAdditional Praise for Poetic Injustice:\n\n"There 
 is more truth, and perhaps finally more news, in Remi Kanazi's poems than 
 the pages of your daily newspaper or the sterile reports flashed across 
 your screens."\n-CHRIS HEDGES, Pulitzer Prize winner and Nation Institute 
 senior fellow.\n\n"Some poetry is meant to make you sit in quiet 
 contemplation. Not so with Remi Kanazi's. Read his words out loud for 
 yourself and your friends. Let their compassionate anger, their intricate 
 dance of ideas, their unflinching witness, wash over you, dance with you, 
 pick you up, and spur you to action." -ALI ABUNIMAH, Co-founder of 
 Electronic Intifada and author of One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the 
 Israeli-Palestinian Impasse\n\n"I am proud to have Remi Kanazi as a 
 partner-in-rhyme in our global struggle for peace & justice...his words 
 resonate on paper just as much as his unforgettable delivery does in 
 person!" -OMAR OFFENDUM Syrian hip hop artist and producer\n
