DESCRIPTION:Online poetry reading by Mosab Abu Toha\n\nWe draw this year to a close 
 with the words of Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha in an online poetry 
 evening honoring the artists and writers of Palestine. Mosab will share 
 readings from his second collection, Forest of Noise, published in 
 mid-October-  one year since the onset of the ongoing genocide in 
 Gaza.\n\nThrough his poetry, Mosab pays tribute to Gaza, bearing witness to 
 its pain and echoing the voices of its people. Written amidst war and 
 displacement, his verses speak to moments of tragedy, personal memories, 
 and the daily struggles of life under occupation and war.\n\nThe reading 
 session will be in English. \n\nMosab Abu Toha is a Palestinian poet, 
 short-story writer, and essayist from Gaza. His first collection of poetry, 
 Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear, was a finalist for the National Book 
 Critics Circle Award for Poetry and won the Palestine Book Award, the 
 American Book Award, and the Walcott Poetry Prize. Abu Toha is also the 
 founder of the Edward Said Library in Gaza, which he hopes to rebuild. He 
 recently won an Overseas Press Club Award for his Letter from Gaza columns 
 for The New Yorker. Forest of Noise has been featured in the New York 
 Times’ 100 Notable Books of 2024.\n\n
