Appalled by the violence of Israel's Operation Cast Lead against
Gaza in 2008/2009, Joan Dobbie and her niece Grace Beeler,
descendants of Holocaust survivors, issued a call for poems by
writers of "Palestinian or Jewish heritage. . . for an anthology
that strives for understanding . . . in the belief that poetry can
create understanding and understanding can dull hatred."
This book is a tribute to resourceful imaginations. Its purpose
is to give readers an occasion to perceive the aspirations and
passions of those whose lives have been affected by the
struggle--in Joseph Conrad's words, "to make you hear, to make you
feel--it is, before all, to make you see."
The poems are arranged in seven sections, each dealing with an
attribute or phase of the Palestine-Israel struggle. When possible,
selections alternate between Jewish and Arab authors, effecting
dissonance in subject, emphasis, and attitude--an uneasy
multiculturalism.
