LIFE BETWEEN BOMBS: The Poems of Amani Mansour, the Anne Frank of Gaza

A Young Palestinian Woman's Intimate, Lyrical Voice from Inside the Genocide in GazaThis book will change your life. Born into the Second Intifada and trapped in the Gaza Genocide, Amani Mansour's lyrical voice bears witness and intimately engages the reader through her poems and stories. This young woman from Gaza had that power, has that power still. To send her voice around the world. To set hearts on fire. To manifest an abstract Palestinian struggle for freedom into an intimate, deeply personal journey of self-realization and empowerment. To send up a lamentation for a genocide the world chose to ignore. Let her words be your call to action!"No progressive bookshelf is complete without Mansour's poetic manifesto on life and death in the Gaza Strip. Inspiring, heartbreaking, transformative." - Rabbi Michael Philip Lerner"Amani sings the song of a Palestine which does not yet live but one day will; her poetry — gentle, aching, sorrowful and tender — sends forth roots that no bulldozer or tank can destroy. Poem after poem she is writing our way toward freedom."- Refaat Alareer Read more
