Description
This evocative poetry collection finds significance in the ordinary—a lost yellow glove, family rituals, neighbors, landscapes, and the uneasy details of daily life—while widening its gaze to war, displacement, prejudice, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Tender yet unsparing, the poems move between intimate domestic moments and a troubled world shaped by violence and political division. With warmth, empathy, and flashes of commonsense humor, they explore how personal memory and human connection can endure amid grief and uncertainty. The result is a compassionate, quietly powerful collection that draws universal meaning from the particulars of home and history.
