Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Forest Of Noise by Mosab Abu Toha showcases the work of one of Gaza’s most prolific poets. This collection offers a poignant depiction of daily life in Gaza.
What We Say: “Award-winning poet Mosab Abu Toha was born in Gaza’s Al-Shati refugee camp in 1992 and has never lived without war in his homeland. Forest Of Noise chronicles the violence, loss and displacement Palestinians have lived through not just in the past year, but for decades. These poems serve as a powerful reminder of what has been lost to occupation and destruction, offering poetry as an act of resistance” – Maria Padget
What They Say: “A powerful, capacious and profound book, rich in intelligence and lyric dexterity that fuses poetry’s two great promises, wonder and testament, into crystalline focus” — Ocean Vuong
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
