quiet orient riot (Omnidawn, 2024), Nathalie Khankan
“It’s impossible to escape this book’s power and its aporia and unsolved tensions. A flowering wound, it’s a Palestinian book in Empire. And yes, it does sing. ”
— FADY JOUDAH
How the Water Holds Me (Bull City Press, 2020), Tariq Luthun
“Tariq Luthun’s poems are vulnerable confessions and whispered conversations about becoming, and continuing to become, a young man, a Palestinian, an immigrant, a witness, and a fighter.”
—Noura Erakat, author of Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine
