First up is THE BEAUTY OF YOUR FACE, by @saharmu "A Palestinian American woman wrestles with faith, loss, and identity before coming face-to-face with a school shooter in this searing debut."

Next is BIRTHRIGHT, by @IntifadaBatata 'Abraham’s highly anticipated debut Birthright constructs a dialogue in which “every pronoun is a Free Palestine.”'

Next is DELUGE, by @laypay "The idea of disease as punishment drives this collection’s themes of shame, illness, grief, and gender, transmuting religious narratives through the lens of a young Arab-American woman suffering a taboo female affliction."

SHRAPNEL MAPS, by @PhilipMetres "Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel/Palestine conflict...elegiac and activist, an exploratory surgery to extract the slivers of cartography through palimpsest and erasure."

And finally HOW THE WATER HOLDS ME, by @tariqLuthun "surveys movements through diaspora, dissecting displacement, mortality, responsibility, and masculinity"
