Join the Students for Justice club, SAC Library, and the Asian American Pacific Islander Month committee for an event centering around Mosab Abu Toha’s poetry collection, Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear: Poems from Gaza. The event will begin with a live stream of Librarians and Archivists for Palestine’s moderated conversation with Mosab Abu Toha on Zoom. We will then move into a poetry reading and small group discussions of Abu Toha’s poems. Lunch from Pasha Mediterranean Grill will be served.
Heart-wrenching and tender, Abu Toha’s Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear paints a picture of life in Gaza from the perspective of a native Gazan, first as a child and later as a young father. The scenes of violence and destruction of living through four brutal military attacks are set against a landscape of humanity and joy as resistance of Palestine and its people. The reality of life in Gaza under siege emerges from the page like a flower blooming from rubble.
This event is part of the Librarians and Archivists with Palestine’s “One Book: Many Communities” 2024 international reading campaign. This campaign is designed to introduce readers to the richness of Palestinian literature, and create a broader awareness and understanding of Palestinian history and the struggle for self-determination.
