The Twenty-Ninth Year, Paperback - Hala Alyan

Detalii:

DescriptionThis is the stuff of life, the very essence of the poetic. -LitHub For Hala Alyan, twenty-nine is a year of transformation and upheaval, a year in which the past--memories of family members, old friends and past lovers, the heat of another land, another language, a different faith--winds itself around the present. Halas ever-shifting, subversive verse sifts together and through different forms of forced displacement and the tolls they take on mind and body. Poems leap from war-torn cities in the Middle East, to an Oklahoma Olive Garden, a Brooklyn brownstone; from alcoholism to recovery; from a single woman to a wife. This collection summons breathtaking chaos, one that seeps into the bones of these odes, the shape of these elegies. A vivid catalog of heartache, loneliness, love and joy, The Twenty-Ninth Year is an education in looking for home and self in the space between disparate identities.About the AuthorHALA ALYAN is an award-winning Palestinian American poet and clinical psychologist. She has published four collections of poetry and a novel, Salt Houses, praised by the Los Angeles Review as a master of . . . the depths and complexities of the Palestinian displacement.
