Description
Rifqa by Mohammed El-Kurd explores the brutal reality of Israeli settler colonialism through the eyes of his grandmother, Rifqa. With razor-sharp wit and moral clarity, El-Kurd exposes the cyclical horror of the Nakba, tracing the story from exile to dispossession in Jerusalem. This powerful debut collection reveals that the Palestinian struggle is a revolution, driven by resilience and determination. El-Kurd's poems offer a poignant and unflinching look at the ongoing conflict, shedding light on the human cost of colonialism and its impact on individuals and communities. A moving and thought-provoking work, Rifqa is a powerful statement about resistance, survival, and the enduring spirit of those who have been displaced.
