* Rachel’s three poems can function as this report. Meanwhile, this report or any other similar reports that can be released by a local organization, a national or international newspaper, or by the local official authorities can be the original source of Rachel’s data in the three poems.

Yes, so what is the difference between a report and a poem, or when a report is read as a poem, or a poem is aread as a report?
I am sorry for this late response, but I thought that we will be able discuss it in the class.
I think that we read the report literally. I mean that we are merely concerned with the data included in this report. but as long as we see the same material in a poem, then unconsciously we will start looking behind the data. We will not deal with the names and numbers literally, but we will try to find out the meanings behind the deployment of them in a poem, or in an artist work generally. In nutshell, Rachel succeeded in engaging us, as readers of her poem an as members of world of politics she writes about, to meditate on the case of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
