Don't Believe Me If I Talk To You Of War (Almutawassit, 2019)
With raw and charged emotion, Azaizeh absolves herself from anything she must say about war, while sprinkling salt on the very same wounds. We can only understand her reasons for renouncing her responsibility by untangling the strings she spins around her poems, in which she frees all the despair and passion accumulated behind seemingly safe walls. Songs lose their tune and people lose their names and watching life’s mundane scenes will leave you feeling besieged and outraged. (Almutawassit, Italy)

Geloof me niet als ik vertel over de oorlog (Uitgeverij Jurgen Maas, 2019)
"This collection has opened my eyes. Not only to the regional conflict, but especially to the talent of Azaizeh, which she uses to precise effect".

A Year of Small Museums
(Rewayat, Kalimat group
UAE, 2024)
In this memoir, I explore my inner world of grief following the sudden death of my father. I try to weave my loss with the ingredients of the world around me; the farm-lands surrounding my Galilee village Daburieh, my mother and sisters, a traditional community and the rituals of death in rural Palestine. Ruminating on fatherhood, life after death, what solace I can find in different cultures, I seek my way and meaning through writing.
