"Tel Aviv is poetry--a time capsule with markings from both the past and future. In this collection, Moh surveys the night with a Hedayat flashlight, accounting his mortal coil with the lithe rumblings of a sage's narrative, folding over itself like a crepe, powdered with pure grit symbolism. Everything here is a twice-blooming rose." - C. C. Hannett, Editor-in-Chief @rlysrslit
