Mosab Abu Toha reflects on the overwhelming grief following significant loss, stating, "I'm trying to mourn the many friends, the many members of my extended family. Thirty of them were killed in one airstrike in Gaza City." He emphasizes the tragedy of entire families being lost, highlighting the profound impact of war on individuals. His mental burden is compounded by the lack of space and time to fully process his grief, creating a struggle to navigate the ongoing emotional turmoil.
Discussing the transformative power of poetry, Abu Toha indicates that he writes to keep the memories alive, stating, "These poems offer moving glimpses of Palestinian life in relative peace and amid the tatters of war." His new collection reflects not just personal experiences but also serves as a powerful tribute to those who have been lost, embodying both resilience and sorrow.
