Bokomtaler
We visited Rifqa and Mohammed's home in Sheikh Jarrah, where colonizing settlers had once forcibly entered and pushed their family to the back. Our delegation bore witness and asked what more could be done. "Go back home and tell the world what you've seen here."
- Sitert fra forordet av Aja Monet.
"It is now 2021, and I have the honor of writing the forward to Mohammed El-Kurd's first book of poems, Rifqa."
- Aja Monet.

A poem is a life, and a life is a poem that calls us inward. What a poem becomes in our innermost spaces is a land that cannot be owned, though it can be cared for, tended to, and loved.
- Aja Monet, foreword.
