"We are facing a poetic epic, a long cinematic film, or a cosmic play in the form of historical, realistic, mythical, and religious mirrors with visions as terrifying as the Day of Judgment. It's a poem of scenic density akin to the Homeric Odyssey. If Odysseus, the exceptional hero, presented his adventures with magnificent wonders and impossibilities after the Trojan War, Al-Mutawakel here takes on the role of extraordinary poetic heroism after the war on Gaza. This text surpasses the dark history of colonial and religious hatred and the usurpation of peoples' histories through false, deceptive claims and genocidal crimes against every meaning of life. Here, Gaza is a new cosmic hero proving its superiority over the will of the mad, delusional thief and murderer who imagines he can erase the immortal Canaanite history." - Poet Rashed Issa

"An epic, dramatic, cinematic poem that transcends geography and history; a moving camera poem in the heart of humanity and Gaza, in sound and image. The philosophy of the expressive form in the poem has made the embodiment of the turbulent reality witnessed by Gaza manifest in the aesthetics of deconstruction through panels, scenes, contrasts, and paradoxes. Al-Mutawakel Taha walks in the heart of the poetic event as a narrator, historian, and intellectual, employing narrative techniques that depict the inner worlds of characters, which gives the poem an aesthetic dimension consistent with the movement of reality. The poem opens up to cultural and historical contexts that form a cognitive approach in its poetic vision." - Poetess Duaa Bayatneh
