Seems like a wonderful collection of poetry and plays for those that enjoy reading these kinds of books. I will be passing as I am not a fan of these genres, but uniqueness does not shy away from this title. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

I've had my fair share of feeling out of place. The way the characters feel unaccepted in new homelands, not fitting in even with their own families. They strive for acknowledgement of their accomplishments and even their humanity, is something that will make me reminiscent. I'd pass on this one.

I could easily overlook the punctuation errors if the read is really a good one for the mind. Congrats on BOTD!

Seeing a book about stories of refugees is rare for me. The last time I read such a story was a long time ago. I'm looking forward to see how the author has covered the themes. And how they get stronger through the challenges they face. Thanks for a great review.

A powerful book about refugees. This book is very insightful, a collection of middle-eastern stories with cultural roots. I would love to read more about the stories in this book. Nice review.

I like that the authors are introduced before their poems, giving the reader a backstory into what they are about to read. Plus, I like the Middle Eastern focus; I feel it will give me deep cultural insight. Sounds promising.

I've never read a play before. It seems this book will be the first one for that. The recurring theme of feeling being out of place is what attracted me to this book and what I find personally relatable.

Plays aren’t my favorite thing to read, with a few exceptions, but I think that the subject matter and themes of the plays in this collection are very important to learn about in today’s world, so I might give this a look despite my usual tastes. I have a soft spot for when people feel like they don’t belong, especially refugees. Thank you for the helpful review.
