2025普立茲評論獎得主代表作 震撼世界的詩篇，台灣首度出版的巴勒斯坦詩集 收錄作者珍貴訪談・台灣版特別增收作者新作「齊墩果樹下」創辦人黃楷君、詩人劉哲廷 專文導讀 強大、寬廣、深邃。——王鷗行 Ocean Vuong用複雜的方式表達複雜的事物並非難事，但他卻是直言不諱、簡單明瞭……這非常了不起。這是最高等級的詩歌。——伊朗裔詩人卡維．阿克巴爾 Kaveh Akbar在加薩，斷電時，我們會開燈，即使在光天化日之下。這樣，我們就知道什麼時候電又來了。——莫薩布．阿布．托哈藏在耳朵裡的聲音：有母親的輕語、伴隨鳥兒鳴叫所唱的歌謠，還有戰鬥機與炸彈的轟鳴與呼嘯。 莫薩布．阿布．托哈（Mosab Abu Toha），巴勒斯坦詩人，生於加薩，也是當地第一座英語圖書館「愛德華．薩依德公共圖書館」的創辦人。《藏在耳朵裡的聲音：加薩詩篇》收錄詩人80首詩作，寫作時間橫跨在加薩親歷戰火的日子，以及2019至2020年赴美訪學期間。書名取自詩作〈藏在耳朵裡的聲音〉——寫於詩人在波士頓的醫院看診後的返家火車上，因為看耳科檢查彈片留下的後遺症，以及雖然到了波士頓仍天天聽到轟炸聲，所以「耳朵」成了一個意象、比喻。其中，有母親的聲音、阿拉伯語歌曲、背誦的英文詩，與無人機的嗡嗡聲。他向醫生說，縫合傷口時別忘了把美好的聲音放回去，僅清除戰爭的噪音。 這本詩集寫的是戰爭，卻不是政治詩。如譯者明迪所述「阿布．托哈的作品同所有優秀詩歌作品一樣，感性知性兼併，充滿想像力，注重細節，接地氣，語言簡練而優雅（他常常在戰爭的殘酷中發現美好的瞬息）從而超越時間，不受時代的局限，任何時候都值得讀。哪怕某一天中東太平了，他的詩仍然有其文學價值和文學史價值。」
