Before the Next Bomb Drops: Rising Up from Brooklyn to Palestine

Remi Kanazi

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

we are the boat / returning to dock / we are the footprints / on the northern trail / we are the iron / coloring the soil / we cannot / be erased—from “Refugee"Remi Kanazi's poetry presents an unflinching look at the lives of Palestinians under occupation and as refugees scattered across the globe. He captures the Palestinian people's stubborn refusal to be erased, gives voice to the ongoing struggle for liberation, and explores the meaning of international solidarity.In this latest collection, Kanazi expands his focus outside the sphere of Palestine and presents pieces examining racism in America, police brutality, US militarism at home and wars abroad, conflict voyeurism, Islamophobia, and a range of other issues.

    This poetry collection was raw and angry. I love poetry so much, and I expected this to be powerful, but I got so much more than what I was expecting in this.
