a very quick portrait, but it sucked me in. i wish there was more! 

okay!! things are really shaking up! i’m on the edge of my seat. love the added feminism+political features

slow and simple and steady, a very lovely recollection of a life. very old fashioned, but in a way that reminded me of my grandma :) 
a good reminder that slowing down can be a good thing! 
to suffer is to love, to love is to suffer.
i love to read about farmers 

finished this on the beach, the way it should be!! 
this was so lovely to read. i couldn’t put it down. i need to find a copy of the third one asap
i love the mention of little women again :) 

holy shit i love this. i couldn’t put it down! especially toward the end

wow that ending!! jaw wide open during my morning commute lol 
very true to life children characters, but still very enjoyable to read as an adult of course. molly’s one liners made me laugh out loud. would read more by stafford

heavy content but very accessible style of writing - it lays out a lot of the details of the history of the occupation, while keeping the humanity of the families and the crash victims central throughout. they probably should have titled it differently, only because people are weird about being “misled”, which takes attention away from the book itself. very well done overall; i think it’s a approachable place for americans to start learning about Palestine

love! many were very easy to connect to. these poems stuck out to me: arriving, the damn cast, the wrong anger, the low road, season of hard wind, the doughty oaks, arofa, argiope, for the young who want to, the moon is always female, right to life, may apple

i find it easy to admire in trees
what depresses me in people.

i prefer to quarrel with those i truly love. 

both sections had something to draw from. would read more from her!

slay, sally jay! so much fun 

i kinda slogged through the middle bit of this, but it kept me interested enough. the beginning and end were my favorite parts. Maybe I didn’t like the middle as much because I really don’t know the physical parts of a pirate ship very well. I did like the look into a child’s mind, with the discussion about innocence and trauma.
