Bearing Witness: A Reflective Look at Forest of Noise by Mosab Abu Toha

Forest of Noise is a searing, intimate collection by Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha—one that captures the ache of displacement, the fragility of memory, and the stubborn persistence of hope. In this review, I explore the book’s themes, the lived reality behind the poems, and why Abu Toha’s voice feels both urgently political and deeply human.

Would you like me to output the WordPress-ready HTML gallery block version next (with and tags + alt text integrated)? That would make it a straight copy-paste section for your post editor.

Rediscovering Sacramento Through Sacramento Noir

Reading Sacramento Noir changed how I see the city I call home. A reflection on community, representation, and what it means to belong in a place both ordinary and extraordinary.

About Me

My name is Cameron Whitfield, and I have been an avid reader my entire life. Anyone who knows me can tell you I am rarely without a book in hand. I don’t know where my love of books came from. They were just always a part of me. One of my earliest memories of reading is when I took the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles Choose Your Own Adventure books to elementary school.
