Forest of Noise: Poems

Description

In this urgent new collection, poems written amid the siege of Gaza transform daily survival into lyric testimony—clear, direct, and startlingly alive. Moving between moments of family tenderness and the absurd, relentless logic of occupation, the book offers directives for air raids, songs meant to steady children, and memories that refuse to be erased. Mosab Abu Toha’s distinctive voice blends intimacy with imaginative reach, turning grief, displacement, and endurance into art that feels both immediate and timeless. At its heart, Forest of Noise is about what remains when everything is taken: love, language, and the stubborn insistence on witnessing.
