DESCRIPTION:Revolution Books Book Club: Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems 
 from Gaza by Mosab Abu Toha. \n\nThis poetry book is the Winner of the 
 American Book Award, the Palestine Book Award and Arrowsmith Press’s 2023 
 Derek Walcott Poetry Prize\n\nFrom the publisher: "In this poetry debut 
 Mosab Abu Toha writes about his life under siege in Gaza, first as a child, 
 and then as a young father. A survivor of four brutal military attacks, he 
 bears witness to a grinding cycle of destruction and assault, and yet, his 
 poetry is inspired by a profound humanity."\n\nThese poems emerge directly 
 from the experience of growing up and living in constant lockdown, and 
 often under direct attack. Like Gaza itself, they are filled with rubble 
 and the ever-present menace of surveillance drones policing a people 
 unwelcome in their own land, and they are also suffused with the smell of 
 tea, roses in bloom, and the view of the sea at sunset.\n\nRevolution Books 
 book club chose this book to discuss because:\n\nThis slim volume plants 
 your feet in the shoes of the people in Gaza. The intensifying horror in 
 Gaza must be confronted and met with bigger, more determined, mass protest. 
 And most importantly, intensified struggle to STOP Israel’s genocide in 
 Gaza must be merged with an understanding of, and determination to act on, 
 the urgent need for revolution in the belly of the beast responsible for 
 all this and so many more crimes against humanity.\n
