“If you live in Gaza, you die several times,” says Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha in his new collection Forest of Noise: Poems, which comes out on October 15 – eight days after the first anniversary of the beginning of the war.
Journalist Nick Hilden interviewed the poet, whose work has been lauded for its heart-rending, vivid descriptions of life under Israeli occupation.
In the interview, from his new home in upstate New York having been evacuated from Gaza late last year with his family, Al Jazeera asked Abu Toha what he thinks of his new existence.
“Every night is a new life for us. You sleep and you are sure, ‘Maybe this time it’s my time to die with my family’. So you die several times because you count yourself amongst the dead every night.”
